This room is located in the part of the Winter Palace
that contained the rooms of the ladies-in-waiting. The display here
is devoted to German Romantic art. The State Hermitage possesses nine
paintings by Caspar David Friedrich, the leading figure in that movement.
Outstanding among them are On a Sailing-Ship, Night in a Harbour
(after 1818) and Moonrise over the Sea (1821). The Triumph
of Religion in Art is a programmatic work of the Nazarene school
created by its head, Friedrich Johann Overbeck. Visitors' attention
is drawn to Karl Friedrich Lessing's work The Royal Couple Mourning
the Death of Their Daughter. |
