The Art of Ancient Egypt
Catherine the Great acquired the first Egyptian relics for the Hermitage, now home to a comprehensive collection of nearly 10,000 pieces, some dating as far back as 4,000 B.C.
The Classical World of Greece and Rome
Democracy, logic, mathematics, science, and philosophy were all invented by the Greeks. Their influence on Western Civilization cannot be overstated. Their art, depicting ideal love and beauty continues to fascinate. Many of the pieces in the Hermitage, never before seen outside of Russia, are shown and discussed in detail in this episode.
Art of the Middle Ages
The Hermitage boasts an extensive collection of Middle Age art, spanning ten centuries, from the 5th to the 15th. This episode examines the Romanesque statues of the period, and shows some of the ornate liturgical objects used in the church. Though less prevalent during this period, there are also examples of secular art, such as a bronze statuette of a knight hunting, and armour from the time.
