The Raphael Loggia
Narrated by Marius Goring
The last of three programmes
One of the glories of Leningrad's Hermitage Museum is, in fact, a fake. Catherine the Great had a passion for the classical art of Europe. When in Rome, she fell in love with Raphael's designs for a magnificent gallery commissioned by Popes Leo X and Julius II. She had to have just such a gallery herself and so an extraordinary piece of Renaissance Italy was built in the colder climate of St Petersburg.
