We were lucky to see the exhibits from the Hermitage : The Legacy of Catherine the Great at National Gallery of Victoria when we visited Melbourne.
It was an immersive experience, recreating the rich atmosphere of the Hermitage, a showcase of these exquisite works.
Having seen the actual exhibits in Russia, this exhibit brought back fond memories for me. It was as though as I was being transported back to Russia.
Masterpieces from the Hermitage: The Legacy of Catherine the Great showcased one of the world’s greatest art collections. Featuring works by artists included Rembrandt, Rubens, Velázquez and Van Dyck. The exhibition offered a dazzling array of works including the finest group of Dutch and Flemish art.
This exclusive Melbourne exhibition highlighted the innovation and vision of Catherine the Great, whose inexhaustible passion for education, the arts and culture heralded a period of enlightenment in the region.
The extraordinary works sourced and commissioned by Catherine during her thirty-four year reign, created the foundations for the Hermitage today – considered to be one of the world’s greatest treasure houses of art and decorative arts.
