The State Hermitage displays paintings from
the holdings of private art collectors Pablo Picasso's etude entitled Nude with a Shawl (1907) belongs to the collector D.V. Khankin. This work is located in the Picasso Room (Hall 349). In the State Hermitage's halls of Flemish art two small paintings recently purchased by the well-known Moscow collector V.A. Logvinenko are on display. The first one, Pieter Paul Rubens' Crucifixion, is very likely the central section of a triptych (which disappeared in 1794) entitled the Miraculous Catch of Fish painted by Rubens during 1618-1619 on commission from the Guild of Fish Merchants for the parish church of Our Lady in Mechelen (Onze-Lieve-Vrow over de Dijle). This painting is located in the Rubens room (Hall 247). The second painting Slaughtered Animals from the Hunt Against a Landscape Background was presented to the public in 1981 and 1984 as a work attributed to Jan Brueghel the Younger and Lucas Van Juden, though undoubtedly it was begun by Jan Brueghel the Elder (Velvet), who drew the depictions of animals in a style close to his works of 1620-1621. It would have been completed by the landscape artist Lucas van Juden, who "inserted" such portrayals in his landscape. The work is located in the Snyders room (Hall 245). In 2005 the State Hermitage accepted for temporary showing a painting entitled Portrait of a Lady holding a Dog which is attributed to Francisco Goya and belongs to Vladimir Logvinenko. The work is being exhibited in the Spanish Study (Room Nr. 240). The picture will be demonstrated till July 2006. |
