The Director's Choice series is an international project that invites the directors of the world's foremost museums to select exhibits that in their opinion occupy a special place in their museum's collection and to explain their significance • This sometimes paradoxical, but always interesting selection has been made by Mikhail Piotrovsky, who has been Director of the Hermitage for more than 25 years. It allows readers to take an unusual journey around the museum and to acquaint themselves both with world-famous works of Western European painting and with examples of ancient, Islamic and Russian art that, undeservedly, often escape the attention of the wider public

The collection of Russian paintings at the State Hermitage contains around 3,000 items. Over a half of them are portraits, which provide priceless iconographic material for historians.

The portraits of this period kept at the Department of the History of Russian Culture are extremely diverse and reflect nearly all the major Russian artistic trends. The Hermitage possesses works by major Russian masters of the 19th century, as well as paintings by less well-known artists, which serve to complete the picture of Russian artistic life of the time
