In the original project for the New Hermitage this room
was intended for copyists to work in. The walls devoid of paintings
were covered with ornamental murals, traces of which were found in
the course of a recent restoration. In the second half of the 19th
century paintings of the Dutch and Flemish schools were installed
here. This practice has continued: the present display shows the formation
of these schools around the turn of the 17th century. Outstanding
among the paintings are two compositions by Hendrik Goltzius - Adam
and Eve and The Baptism, as well as works by Jan Breughel the
Elder (Velvet Breughel), David Teniers the Younger and Theodor Rombouts. |
