The Titian Room is one of the courtyard-side suite of
rooms in the Old (Large) Hermitage that was decorated by Andrei Stakenschneider
in the 1850s. These apartments were intended for distinguished guests
of the imperial court. The 19th-century decor has only partially survived.
During restoration in 2003 the walls were painted the colour of the
cloth that archive documents record as being used to line the room.
The room is used to display works from the later part of the career
of Titian (1488-1576), the great Venetian Renaissance artist. They
include Danaë, The Repentant Mary Magdalene and
St Sebastian |
