HERMITAGE MUSEUM
State Hermitage Museum is a museum of art in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The Hermitage is the largest public museum in Russia and home to one of the greatest art collections in the world. Russian empress Catherine the Great founded the Hermitage in 1764 as a museum for the royal court. The holdings originally consisted of Western European works of art that she purchased from private collections.BLUE POT AND LEMON
This is the earliest of all the paintings by Matisse in the Hermitage. Executed in 1897, it allows us to see how his work, albeit for but a short time, reflected the Impressionist view of the world.

The Hermitage has 14 paintings by the famous Flemish painter of animals, hunting scenes and still lifes, Frans Snyders.

Picasso's early Cubist paintings, produced in the years 1907-1908, demonstrate how suddenly the artist departed from the creation of a visual likeness and immersed himself in a "new reality" created by himself, a reality which was at times frightening and repellent, at times amazing for its innovative harmonies. The artist painted this work in Paris in early 1908. The massive figure of theOLD CHURCH IN DELFT
A leading master of architectural painting, de Witte spent eight years in Delft, where he finally established his interest in the depiction of church interiors. In general the artist did not seek to create a precise likeness of the interior of a particular church, tending rather to combine elements to create generalised, representative scenes. He brought his interiors to life by using effects OLD WOMAN - KURT PEISER - HERMITAGE MUSEUM Author: Kurt Peiser. Genre Painting, Painting, Oil on canvas, 100.5x90.5 cm.

In 1901, the year in which this work was painted, a retrospective exhibition was held in Paris of the work of van Gogh, who had died in 1890.

Source of entry: State Museum of New Western Art, Moscow, 1931 STATE HERMITAGE MUSEUM CONTACT FORM, ENTER EMAIL: State Hermitage Museum is a museum of art in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The Hermitage is the largest public museum in Russia and home to one of the greatest art collections in the world. Russian empress Catherine the Great founded the Hermitage in 1764 as a museum for the royal court. The holdings originally consisted of Western European works of art that she purchased from private collections. These were housed in a private gallery called the Small Hermitage that was connected to the Winter Palace, the vast, ornate winter home of the Russian tsars. The tsars who succeeded Catherine substantially increased the collections, which expanded into the Old Hermitage, another private gallery adjoining the Winter Palace. The buildings comprising the Hermitage were rebuilt after a fire in the Winter Palace in 1837 . The museum opened to the public in 1852 and became public property known as the State Hermitage Museum in 1917, following the Russian Revolution. The collections are now housed in five magnificent interconnected buildings, including the Winter Palace. The lavish exteriors andinteriors of these
buildings are of architectural and historical importance in themselves. They provide a rich setting for collections that cover virtually every aspect of the fine arts, from classical antiquity to 20th-century painting. The
collection also includes examples of Russian art, artifacts from non-Western cultures, Oriental art , coins, and jewelry. The Hermitage`s collection of Western European art is particularly strong in Italian, Spanish, Flemish, and Dutch paintings and includes major works by Leonardo da Vinci ,Raphael , Giorgione
, Caravaggio
, Diego Velazquez
, El Greco ,
Rembrandt , and Pieter Paul Rubens . The Schukin and Morozov Collections of impressionist , postimpressionist , and modern paintings contain many of the finest works by Henri Matisse , as well as major paintings by Vincent van Gogh , Paul Cezanne , Paul Gauguin, Henri Rousseau
, and Pablo Picasso
