  • Does anybody know who is the painter at 3:04?

  • This is a painting by Canaletto (1697 - 1768) called

    Arrival of the French Ambassador in Venice

    (1740's; Oil on canvas; )

  • Enjoyed views of Hermitage. My son is currently their with his High School orchestra attending a festival so I was interested to see what some 'sights' he might also be enjoying. I also had to turn down the sound (wrong choice of music for the images). For a hint, check out the 4 videos of Peterhof also here on youtube.

  • Well, Strauss and Rachmaninoff are certainly nice accompaniments for pictures of Russian palaces, but my choice of "Sultans of Swing" is meant as a little bit of a reminder of how they came about - the Czars did live like Sultans, with all that entails. Granted, soundtracks are very personal choices, and you're not the first person who didn't like this one, but I'd be curious what your son thinks.

  • Glad you liked the pictures, sorry the music's not to your taste -- other people have liked it. Perhaps you could turn the sound off and try it again?

  • thank you very much!

  • For those who don't understand this comment, WMG (Warner Media Group) silenced the sound track to this video, which included a legitimate copy of "Sultans of Swing" by Dire Straits, without providing any mechanism for getting the permission they demand, which I would have been willing to pay a reasonable fee for.

  • Ah, this is beautiful, well done. The city that I'm from.

    I would recommend to everyone a film called "Russian Arc". The whole film takes place inside the beautiful Hermitage and is shot in one continious shot/take. It will take your breath away.
