Live Zoom talk by Professor Alexei Leporc
Tuesday 20 April 2021
Professor Alexei Leporc, Curator of Western European Art at the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, will talk about the collection to Friends of the Whitworth on Zoom. He had been Professor of 15th to 20th Century West European art and architecture at St Petersburg European University in 1999-2006, teaching before that at Technical University in St. Petersburg and has previously held research and lecturing positions at Institutes of Art History in Vienna, Munich and Berlin.
The Hermitage's collection of Western European Art is one of the finest in the world, containing masterpieces from all the major centres of artistic development in Europe from the 13th to the 19th centuries. Based on the collections bought up by Catherine the Great to fill the walls of the Small and Great Hermitages, it has been expanded over the years through further Imperial purchases, Bolshevik confiscation of private collections, and appropriation of artwork in conquered Germany.
Professor Leporc was due to lead the 2020 Friends tour to Riga, Tallinn and Helsinki, which had to be cancelled because of Covid, but he is likely to be involved in future Friends tours.
