The Hermitage

Топик Эрмитаж рассказывает об одном из самых знаменитых музеев мира, собрание произведений искусств которого почти не имеет себе равных. Свое начало Эрмитаж берет из частного собрания картин Елизаветы Второй, к просмотру которых допускались лишь избранные. Сейчас коллекции музея занимают пять огромных зданий, связанных между собой. Экспозиция музея показывает развитие мирового искусства с каменного века до конца XX столетия: богатейшая в мире коллекция скифского золота, многочисленные образцы керамики, бронзовое литье, каменные плиты с петроглифами, античные древности и нумизматика. В этом топике вы познакомитесь с описаниями Георгиевского зала, зала Леонардо да Винчи и Малахитовой комнаты.

One of the world-wide known museums is the Hermitage. The word «Hermitage» means «a place of solitude». This name was given in the XVIII century by Catherine II to her private museum housed in a small building adjacent to the Winter Palace and accessible only to the chosen few.

In the course of time, the Hermitage grew into one of the greatest museums of the world. At present the collections take up five interconnected buildings. The museum retains its old name.

The accumulation of artifacts let to the formation of new departments devoted to the culture and art of the Peoples of the East, of the Prehistoric culture and of the Russian culture. Three other departments are those of Western European art, classical antiquities and numismatics.

One of the rooms that impressed visitor the most is St. George Hall. The interior of the room is considered by experts to be a perfect example of the Classical Style. The room covers about 800 square metres, but does not seem enormous due to perfect proportions. It is decorated in the whitest marble and gilded bronze. The Throne Hall was used for column assemblies. Members of the Tzar’s family, when coming of age, took their oaths here.

The Leonardo da Vinci Hall is one of the most gorgeous interiors. The hall is decorated in the style of 17 century French Baroque. The Hermitage possesses two, out of 12 or 14 works surviving from Leonardo.

The Rembrandt collection is one of the most treasured possessions of the museum. It members 24 canvases.

The Malachite Room reflects the style of 1889. The columns, pilasters, and floor lamps are veneered with thin plaques of rich green malachite. About two tons of malachite were used in decoration of the room.
