After Pavilion hall – Old Hermitage.

Council-staircase.

Old (Big) H was redesigned by Shtakenshnaider. The first was the construction of this staircase, which replaced the oval-hall. The only remaining feature – the oval-shaped plafond by French Duayen – “Virtues introducing young Russian men to Minevra”. Cessions of the State council were held in the ground floor of the Old-H.

The interiors were designed by Штакеншнайдер in mid-19^th century for the son of Alex-II in the style of eclecticism. In here the Italian collection of the Hermitage starts, one of the largest in the museum. Covers 8 centuries (13-20), includes works by Da Vinci, Raphael, Giorgione, Titian and Michelangelo.

First exhibit here – “Annunciation” by Simmono Matrini. First half of the 14^th century. Came from Siena, the painting is the right part of a diptych, painted on panel – the left part now displaced in the National Gallery in Washington. The image has a number of features typical for gothic style – elongating shape, golden background, flat image. We can also trace some features typical for Renaissance Art – Virgin looks feminine.

Fresco - Frabiata Angelico – Madonna with a child, St Dominic and St Tomas. Comes from St Dominic monastery in F’esole near Florence – 1424-1430. The monastery closed, the fresco was sailed to Hermitage – a piece of the wall. Each character is unique individual features.

The H has two paintings by fra Fellipino Lippi – “Adoration” and “Annunciation”. Liipi was famous for his sophisticated style appreciated by Lorenco Medici in Florence in the 15^th century. The artist interested in spiritual experiences of his characters, which is well-demonstrated in the Adoration-scene (mid 1480^th). The earthly world here delicate and fragile. Pay attention to the landscape on the background, which includes sea, castles – ideal world. He paid great attention to the details – flowers, vases and prayer-boor.

Botticheli – St Dominic and St Jerome. Both paintings are from the later period of the artist’s life.
