Strong points of the Hermitage collection of Western art include Michelangelo, Leonardo, Rubens, Van Dyck, Rembrandt, Poussin, Claude Lorraine, Watteau, Tiepolo, Canaletto, Canova, Rodin, Monet, Pissarro, Renoir, Cezanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Picasso, and Matisse. But there is actually much more to see - the Russian imperial regalia, a superb assortment of Faberge jewellery, and a breathtaking collection of ancient gold.
