It presents works presents works by Carl Fabergé (1846–1920), the celebrated jeweller and outstanding master of the jeweller’s trade. The Hermitage is showing in all their diversity creations that have never ceased to delight and to amaze with the imagination and skilful execution that they display. The works produced by imperial Russia’s last court jeweller, whose activities were inseparably bound up with the Winter Palace and the Imperial Hermitage, speak of the exquisite taste and love of beauty of its former inhabitants.
The exhibition “After Raphael. 1520–2020” runs until 28 March 2021. It is timed to mark the 500th anniversary of the death of Raphael (Raffaello Santi) and is devoted to the phenomenon of his influence on European art from the 16th century to the present day.
