An enterprising merchant suggested this to make the Russian Empress, and she agreed without hesitation, in order to shine to the German monarch.

This year (1764th) is considered the year of the founding of the Hermitage, although the museum in contemporary concept This word was not yet.

For Catherine, the acquisition of masterpieces of world painting was primarily a political gesture to show that the Russian Empire is a developed and uncountable country that can afford such a luxury. In 1774, there were 2080 paintings in possession of the empress, but there was no total access to them. By this period, the famous phrase of Catherine is about that only she and mice admires.

The legend is connected with the mummy: one of the climers of the hall told about the fact that a few days before the new moon, in the spring of 2004, on the left shoulder Pa-di-Ista began to twitch muscle. After a couple of days, the magnitude of walnutwhich started to "move" on the hand up and down. A week later, everything stopped - the tumor disappeared by itself. True, this or a lie - to solve you.

Pa-di-East is not the only mummified dead man in the Hermitage. In total, there are no less than five.

"Madonna Benua"

This beautiful picture Called K. early work Leonardo da Vinci: It was written in the 1460-1470s. Despite the many guesses and legends on the origin of Madonna with a flower, the story of how she fell into Russia is simple: Maria Benouua, in the Maiden Sapozhnikov, received a picture of her father inheritance.

This work has become one of the key works of the master and the sample for the painters of the time: Da Vinci wrote a masterpiece oil colors - And according to his example, other artists began to use them.

"Madonna Litta"

Next to " Madonna Benois"The Hermitage is kept" Madonna Litt ", which the museum bought in the 1860s from the Italian family of Litta in the 1860s.

There is an assumption that some of the paintings wrote someone from his students.

Watch "Peacock"

This is a surprisingly excellent mechanical device invented James Cox and Friedrich Yuri. It fell to Russia thanks to Potemkin: he acquired a clock as a gift Catherine II. Unfortunately, the favorite of the Empress did not know if she liked her gift, as she died before the clock was delivered.

At first, the clock was exhibited in the Tauride Palace, and then transported to the winter where they are stored so far. The famous Kulibin repaired them twice (during the transportation part of the details were damaged). But in general, the unique clock was survived to this day unchanged: this is the only well-known major mechanical device of the 18th century, which has not yet been failed.

In Russia, "Dana" fell in 1772, when Ekaterina II bought it. Two hundred years later, it happened with this picture known Akt. Museum vandalism: Lithuanian bronus Maigis poured it with sulfuric acid and damaged twice with a knife. As Maigis admitted later, this action was completely in political reasons.

Despite the fact that 27% of the canvas were damaged, the picture was fully restored. Since 1997, she has been in the Holland and Flanders Painting Hall, under Around Glass.

"Return of the Prodigal Son" Rembrandt

Over this work, the artist worked for a very long time: the first sketches appeared in the 1630-1640s, and it was ready only to 1660. But such tremendous efforts were worth it, because the picture became one of the most famous masters in the work.

"Lady in Blue" Gainesboro

The work became a business card of the artist, it is rightly called one of best portraits Baroque era: sophisticated beauty, soft transitions of halftone, elegance and grace - all this is present in the picture. In Hermitage, she fell from Jerman Hitrovo in 1912. On the this moment This is the only work of Gainesboro in Russian museums.
