France in Russia: Empress Josephine's Malmaison Collection25 juillet-4 novembre 2007
"
Malmaison was the country retreat of Empress Josephine, where she lived with her husband Napoleon Bonaparte. The château was decorated and furnished in the latest antique taste providing a luxurious setting for Josephine's burgeoning art collection. Many of the works she collected were gifts from Napoleon which he had acquired during his various military campaigns in Europe.
After her death, Tsar Alexander I bought an important part of the Malmaison paintings and sculpture collection and shipped it to St Petersburg to be installed in the Winter Palace. This exhibition brings together for the first time in this country a significant part of the The State Hermitage Museum's Malmaison collection."
