:16:01
What naturalism!
:16:04
Weren't those decorations inspired
by Raphael's sketches?
:16:09
Raphael, yes,
:16:14
Better than the Vatican,
This is Saint Petersburg,
:16:17
So they're copies?
:16:18
Your authorities don't trust
your own artists.
:16:23
Russians are so talented at copying!
:16:27
Why?
:16:30
Because you don't have ideas of your own.
:16:33
Your authorities don't want you
to have them.
:16:38
In fact, they are as Iazy
as all the rest of you.
:16:44
Lazy!
:16:46
There was a painting gallery here.
:16:49
-On the upper floor,
-With 111 Italian paintings.
:16:54
-But not the best masters.
-Not the best,
:16:59
The tsars were mainly Russophiles,
:17:07
But sometimes even they dreamed of Italy,
:17:09
Wasn't the Hermitage created
to satisfy those dreams?
:17:14
-Raphael isn't for you.
-Not for us,
:17:17
-For Italy.
-Italy,
:17:19
-It's warm there!
-Warm,
:17:28
What beauty!
:17:36
The small Italian gallery....
:17:48
Who are these people?
:17:52
Of which milieu are they?
:17:55
Do you see that vase?
:17:57
Yes! Empire style is everywhere.
