Introduction:
The architectural gallery in the State Hermitage Museum is located in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It is a well-known museum and gallery of artistry and traditions. There are more than 3 million items of human history and philosophy. Among the 6 buildings, “The Winter Palace” is perhaps the most impressive and marvellously decorated building. The green frontage display of the gallery is appealing and alluring. In ancient times, the colour of the interior was red. But later on, as time progressed, the colour was changed to yellow, golden, to make the gallery display more attractive.
Collections and interiors present in the Architectural gallery:
The collection of art present in the museum is around 3 million, which is indeed too many to be explored. In the gallery, tourists can find prehistoric findings such as Greek statues, Asian carvings and assembled collections. In addition, this museum is a fairyland for notable works of renowned artists from all over the world. For example, a tourist can view Leonardo Da Vinci’s paintings.
At first, when a tourist enters the museum, he or she needs to go to the Jordan Staircase. This staircase is the starting point in the museum. This staircase is a showpiece of Baroque architecture. It portrays embellished interiors in a combination of red and golden colours, elaborate detailing, etc. After reaching the top of the Jordan Staircase, a visitor can find the Field Marshal Room on the left. In this historical room, powerful Russian emperors used to reside between the 17th to 19th centuries. This room gives tourists an idea of the glory and authority related to ancient kings and dictators of Russia.
Dutch and Spanish collection of Arts in this Architectural gallery:
The State Hermitage Museum is unique among other famous world museums because of its variety of art collections. First of all, this museum has a rich Dutch collection of world-famous artists like Van Dyck, Rembrandt. Notable works from these two artists are available in this museum, which represent Dutch and Flemish heritage. In addition, Spanish collections of art are also present in this museum, with works from Velázquez and El Greco. Although El Greco originated from Greece, he established himself as one of the elite Spanish artists during the 17th century. In addition, the French collection of art is decorated gorgeously with ornate and premier pieces of gold.
