St Petersburg's Hermitage Museum holds 2 works by Sandro Botticelli (1445–1510) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Botticelli's great mythological paintings are among the most reproduced in art history, which makes standing in front of the originals in Florence a genuinely surprising experience. The surface is delicate and linear, the colour pale and luminous, the figures simultaneously otherworldly and physically present.
Hermitage Museum
St Petersburg · 2 works on display
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.
