The definitive volumes celebrating the collections of the Hermitage Museum. For nearly 250 years the State Hermitage has been one of Europe’s most palatial museums. It encompasses more than three million works of art and artifacts displayed within a spectacular architectural ensemble, the heart of which is the famed Winter Palace. The two volumes of The Hermitage Collections capture the masterpieces and discuss the history that make this world-famous institution a cultural destination and a global treasure. Many of its rarely reproduced works are included in these two volumes, such as The Raphael Loggias (as copied from the Vatican), Michelangelo’s Crouching Boy, The Gonzaga Cameo, Leonardo da Vinci’s Madonna with a Flower (The Benois Madonna), and Titian’s St. Sebastian. The Hermitage collections were developed beginning in 1764 by Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia. Today, the Hermitage collections constitute one of the great art museums of the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and Comprehensive
Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2010

This is a beautiful boxed set of two large volumes with wonderful photos and text. We purchased it as a keepsake after our trip to the Hermitage this past summer. We enjoyed looking through the books and rediscovering the masterpieces we saw in person. The box has a slight gold sheen to it that makes it look very luxurious and expensive. We've displayed it prominently in our living room. I would recommend it as a pre-trip purchase to help you decide what galleries you want to focus on during your visit to the Hermitage since it is a massive museum. It would be easy to miss an important masterpiece if you don't have a plan.

These are two beautiful albums, and are a perfect memory of my visit to the Hermitage. So well presented, very comprehensive, on good paper, well bound and not expensive. Whether you have been to the Hermitage or not, the two books are a must for art lovers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, But......
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2013
Verified Purchase
The 2 volumes contained in this set are done with exquisite reproductions of the artwork featured. The scholarly text was informative and represented a lot of research. BUT, and this is a big but... I missed paintings by RUSSIAN artists, aside from the few icons included. Being in Russia, I saw magnificent artworks (HUGE!) of some of the most realistic paintings ever produced in the world that spoke of the times and people past. I surely expected to find a few examples of Russian masterpieces in this Hermitage volume set and was very disappointed not to see representative work of the Russian people, hence the "4 Stars" rating. Perhaps I need a book on the Tetryakov Gallery!

Magnifiently printed, bound (with a jacket for both books) and delivered. Highly recommend this seller for quality and promptness. The books are the next best thing to visiting The Hermitage collections. Definitely a collectible item for those who love art, palaces and exquisite everything. Rizzoli, as usual, does justice to his top-notch reputation. Books are spellbinding in every respect and they will enrich further my forthcoming trip to The Hermitage, St. Petersburg and Moscow.

Visited St, Petersburg in 2008 and spent two days going thru the Hermitage (need to take at least that much time) but didn't leave with any art books these books filled that void their big and heavy but are very comprehensive and have beautiful pictures of many of the paintings and sculptures I seen and photographed myself the rooms and palace are a work of art also just a beautiful experience if your going to see this museum or have already been there this is a great set of books to have to either bring back memories or give you an idea of what to expect on your visit.

If you are interested in this catalogue, you may have travelled to Saint Petersburg as a tourist and you went on one of the guided tour offering a glimpse of the fabulous Hermitage collection.

When you have browsed through this catalogue you will feel very sad - due to all the art objects you have missed. But I think this catalogue is an excellent way to acquaint yourself with the rich Hermitage art collection.

I suspect that the catalogue (excellent quality) will entice, as it entice me, you to go back to one of the the richest museums in the world.
