This room of the New Hermitage - the building constructed
in the mid-19th century to the design of Leo von Klenze for the Imperial
Museum - was originally meant for copyists. The space of the walls
devoid of any pictures was painted in the style matching the ornamental
painting on the ceiling. The works of the Dutch and Flemish Schools
of the 17th century were housed in the hall in the late 19th century.
The pilasters and the pillars are faced with artificial marble. The
stone vases decorating this interior were produced at the Ekaterinburg
and Kolyvan Lapidary Works. On display in the hall are works by Netherlandish
artists including Adam and Eve and The Baptism (both 1608) by Hendrick
Goltzius, The Forest Landscape (The Rest on the Flight into Egypt)
(1607) by Jan Bruegel the Elder (the Velvet Brueghel), The Guard-Room
and The Group Portrait of the Members of the Antwerp Magistrate and
the Foremen of the Musketeers' Guilds (1643) by David Teniers the
Younger as well as An Allegory of Peace and Justice by Martin de Vos.
