The album is dedicated to one of the most remarkable museums of world art - the State Hermitage Museum. The Hermitage is not only the largest museum in Russia, it is one of the several great museums of the world, along with the Louvre, the Prado and the Uffizi. The history of our culture, starting from the time of Peter the Great, is inextricably linked with the Hermitage; its walls preserve the memory of great historical achievements and court intrigues, of the difficult years of revolution and blockade, and of the great devotion of all the collectors and keepers of the museum collections that have made up the lasting glory of Russia.
Over several centuries the museum has amassed the richest collection of paintings - great canvases created by masters of different countries and epochs. The Hermitage houses works by Titian and Rembrandt, Caravaggio and Giorgione, Simone Martini and Beato Angelico, Tiepolo, Rubens, Van Dyck, Snyders and many others. The art of the 19th - 20th centuries is widely and fully represented in the collection: Cézanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Matisse, Boudin, Vlaminck, Picasso, Kandinsky and Malevich. The book is organized chronologically, and each period of the history of painting is preceded by a capacious but informative characterization.
