This small room was part of the service rooms for the
Second Reserve Apartment in the Winter Palace, where guests were accommodated.
The display is devoted to German 16th-century art. The legacy of Lucas
Cranach the Elder (1472-1553) is represented in the museum by five
works, the most notable being Venus and Cupid, Virgin and
Child under an Apple-Tree and Portrait of a Woman. Here
one can also see Christ and the Woman Taken in Adultery by
Lucas Cranach the Younger, the paired portraits of A Man with His
Three Sons and A Lady with Her Daughter by Bartel (Bartolomaus)
Bruyn the Elder and also works of sculpture and applied art. |
