This room belonged to the suite of five Rooms of War
Paintings, created by Alexander Briullov after the 1837 fire to extol
Russian victories in the period before the Patriotic War of 1812.
The display covers French art of the 1730s-1760s and presents the
work of great masters of the Rococo era. It includes canvases by the
most striking Rococo artist, François Boucher: Rest on the
Flight into Egypt, a Pastoral Scene and Landscape in
the Environs of Beauvais, as well as paintings by Nicolas Lancret,
Charles Vanloo and Jean-Baptiste Pater. Sculpture is represented by
works by Etienne Maurice Falconet, including his famous Cupid,
and Guillaume Coustou the Elder, Jean-Baptiste Pigalle and Augustin
Pajou. |
