Among the many treasures of The State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg is its remarkable collection of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Flemish paintings--more than five hundred in all--including key works by Rubens, Van Dyck, Jordaens, Snyders, and Teniers. Forming the core of the Hermitage's Flemish collection, these works were acquired from all over Europe by the Empress Catherine II, and the collection has continued to develop. This magnificent volume is the first to provide detailed information in English with illustrations for every work. More than 140 artists are represented in the collection and in this complete catalogue, which provides a comprehensive picture of the golden age of Flemish painting. Individual illustrated entries for every work are accompanied by detailed indexes and provenance information that provides a unique view of the history of collecting in Russia. Bard Graduate Center

"The Collections of the Romanovs celebrates the 300th anniversary of the founding of St. Petersburg by exploring the role of the Romanov dynasty as collectors of fine and decorative arts. The book investigates in particular the historic role of St. Petersburg as Russia's window to the West, and features the great masterworks of Western European art collected and prized by Romanov tsars, from Peter the Great (who ruled from 1721-25) to the last of the dynasty, Nicholas II (who ruled from 1874-1918). Included are masterpieces of painting, drawing, printmaking, porcelain, silver, and tapestry over one hundred works in all, drawn exclusively from the extraordinary collection of the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The Extraordinary Selection of paintings reproduced in this stunning book -- all by western European women artists -- has been drawn from the unrivaled collection of the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, and is published here as part of the international celebrations to mark the city's 300th anniversary. An Imperial Collection explores how women as patrons, artists, and subjects contributed to the cultural history of Russia. Eminent families formed collections and created artistic commissions that brought women artists to Russia and extended the influence of western European art at the royal court of the tsars. Some women artists were allowed into the inner circles of the court, providing an "insider" view into the private, intimate side of imperial life. Artists whose work is explored in the book include Elisabeth Louise Vigee-Lebrun, who from 1795 to 1801 found refuge in St. Petersburg after the French Revolution forced her to flee her own country; French sculptor Marie-Anne Collot, whose numerous works for Catherine the Great included the monumental head for the sculpture of Peter the Great, now one of the great landmarks of St. Petersburg; and Angelica Kauffman, one of the few eighteenth-century women painters to tackle the challenging field of history painting, often with a heightened sensitivity to female roles. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in women artists, the history of Russian patronage of the arts, and Russian imperial history and culture. Book jacket.

Also included are portraits from the famed War Gallery created by English painter George Dawe, who was awarded a prestigious commission to produce more than 300 images of Russian generals for the Gallery of 1812 in the historic Winter Palace, now part of the museum complex.
