Description

The author of this book, Mikhail Piotrovsky, is the director of the State Hermitage Museum. A bestseller in the famous series "Great Museums of the World", published since 1998. High-quality printing, stunning illustrations, a dust jacket, a slipcase. A fine gift for an art lover and an addition to any home library. The album is devoted to one of the most remarkable museums of world art - the State Hermitage. Over the course of several centuries this museum has assembled an extraordinarily rich collection of paintings - great canvases created by masters of different countries and eras. The Hermitage holds works by Titian and Rembrandt, Caravaggio and Giorgione, Simone Martini and Fra Angelico, Tiepolo, Rubens, Van Dyck, Snyders and many others. The art of the 19th-20th centuries is also widely and fully represented in the museum's collection: Cézanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Matisse, Boudin, Vlaminck, Picasso, Kandinsky and Malevich. The book is built on a chronological principle, and each period in the history of painting is preceded by a succinct yet informative characterization.
