travel russia st petersburg the hermitage sculpture
Whether or not it is because I am an architect dealing with 3 dimensional space, I have a special love for sculpture.
The Hermitage has a nice collection of beautiful works by the masters.
It makes me wonder if I will ever have/make the time to explore this art form, for myself, in much greater depth.
Most of these examples are from the First Room of Most Recent Sculpture in the Hermitage.
