St Petersburg's Hermitage Museum holds 10 works by Titian (1488–1576) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Titian's career spanned over seventy years, and his late work — loose, almost impressionistic in handling — anticipates everything that would come after. In person, his use of colour is revelatory: the Venetian palette, warm and rich, with shadows that glow rather than merely darken.

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.
