This is one of the rooms of the Second Reserve Apartment
that Alexander Briullov decorated after the 1837 fire. Today it houses
a display of the paintings of Claude Gellée, known as Lorrain
(1600-1682), one of the foremost French Classicists of the 17th century.
The austere beauty of nature in his "ideal landscapes" is
softened by the finely worked lighting effects and the dreamy elegiac
mood. The museum has 11 works by this artist. Outstanding among them
are the Four Times of the Day series and Landscape with
Apollo and the Cumaean Sibyl. |
