St Petersburg's Hermitage Museum holds 19 works by Paul Cézanne (1839–1906) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Cézanne is often described as the father of modern art, and his work reveals why in person: the patient, methodical deconstruction of form and space that Cubism would later take further. His paintings look deceptively simple in reproduction but are extraordinarily complex in the original — the colour relationships are everything.

The Hermitage is one of the largest museums in the world, housed in the former Winter Palace and five connected buildings on the Neva embankment. The collection spans antiquity to the 20th century; the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist rooms on the third floor are among the finest anywhere.

Planning your visit to St Petersburg
The Hermitage occupies six buildings — plan a full day and accept you will see only a fraction. The museum is on the Neva embankment (metro: Admiralteyskaya or Nevsky Prospekt). Audio guides are strongly recommended; the scale of the collection is overwhelming without orientation.
