The State Hermitage Museum, in the heart of historic St. Petersburg, occupies an ensemble of magnificent buildings on the bank of the River Neva. The grandest of all is the Winter Palace--the former residence of the Russian czars--designed by Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli and constructed from 1754 to 1762. Within the walls of this artistic enclave reside the Hermitage collections, about three million works that trace the development of world art and culture from the Stone Age to today. The museum is currently enhancing its digital self-portrait to provide people all over the world with wider access to information about its remarkable treasures. Selected from among the museum’s monumental trove are the thirty paintings by Dutch masters featured in this book of postcards. They include works by Rembrandt, Hals, De Hooch, Ruisdael, Terborch, and twenty other great artists of the era. Thirty color reproductions bound in a handy postcard book collection. Oversized postcards measure 6 1/2 x 4 3/4 in. ISBN 978-0-7649-4210-5. |
