The French Classical Style of the 17th & 18th Centuries
Only because of Catherine the Great's desire to emulate the French Court was the Hermitage built as it was. As it stands now, it houses an unparalleled collection of 16th and 17th century French Classical works, with artists drawing on Greek and Roman myths for inspiration. At the end of the 18th century, we see the emergence of Romanticism, paintings stressing the awesome power and grandeur of nature.
The Road to Impressionism: 19th Century France
It surprises some to discover that there are many Impressionist and Post Impressionist works in the Hermitage Museum by acknowledged masters such as Monet, Renoir, Pissaro, Degas, Van Gogh, Cezanne, and Gaugin. This program covers the era from The Arts/Visual Arts French Academy Classical style to the works of the Impressionists.
Modernism: Matisse, Picasso & 20th Century Painting
At the dawn of the 20th century, the Impressionists were considered passé. A critic at an exhibition in Paris described being amongst the pictures as being amongst wild animals ("bete fauves" in French). The term Fauvism was born. In the Hermitage are works by Andre Derian, Kees Van Dongen, and Henri Matisse.
