Re-published to mark the 250th anniversary of the Hermitage Museum in 2014, this landmark two-volume survey of one of the world’s greatest cultural institutions has been fully revised and extended to include new acquisitions and updated research. Twenty years after its original publication, this comprehensive revision of The State Hermitage — the official publication for the 250th anniversary — features art from almost every civilisation and nation. Including Scythian gold, Chinese textiles, paintings by Leonardo and Raphael, as well as one of the most important Impressionist and Post-Impressionist collections in the world, the Hermitage Museum is here encapsulated in two superbly illustrated and annotated volumes.
