Masterpieces from the Hermitage- National Gallery of Victoria (NGV)

In October 2015 I was fortunate to be able to see a number of items which were owned by Catherine the Great. These included pieces of jewellery, furniture, artwork, plans for buildings and personal items.

The display was segmented according to various themes, including Flemish Art, Dutch Art, China and much more. There were items from various ages and included art by famous artists such as Titian, Rembrandt, Hackert, Van Dyck and a variety of others.

The exhibition was very successful and attracted visitors from all over Australia and tourists from overseas also enjoyed the opportunity to see these treasures.

Some of the items which were on display are below.
