Synopsis

For 50 years the State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg held a treasure trove of work which had been taken from German private collections to the Soviet Union at the end of World War II, and was believed by the outside world to have been lost or destroyed. This book presents 89 of these works - drawings by major 19th- and 20th-century artists, including Goya, Daumier, Rowlandson, Cezanne, Delacroix, Ingres, Millet and Toulouse-Lautrec. Also among the drawings is one of Van Gogh's best-known works, the watercolour "Boats at Saintes-Maries". A colour illustration of each drawing is accompanied by detailed commentary and provenance, and the author also provides an introduction to the art that disappeared during World War II.
