This book introduces the private collectors of nineteenth-century St Petersburg for the first time, and focuses on four collectors in particular, each with their own preference for a particular school, country or period - ?«old masters?», paintings from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, or contemporary art from the mid-nineteenth century. Featuring masterpieces by Delacroix, Boucher, Rousseau and Murillo among others, it presents a fascinating picture of collecting in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century in St Petersburg.
