MADRID, SPAIN  •  Museo Nacional del Prado  •  8 November 2011 - 25 March 2012
 
Comprising almost ninety works from the Hermitage's collections of painting, drawing and sculpture, together with a similar number of items from its holdings of archaeological items and the decorative arts, in addition to court dress and furniture, the exhibition The Hermitage in the Prado is the second part of an exchange of collections that has taken place between the Prado and the Hermitage museums.

Paintings on loan to the Prado include major compositions such as Saint Sebastian by Titian, The Lute Player by Caravaggio, Saint Sebastian by Ribera, and Three Men at a Table by Velázquez. Two important works by Rembrandt, Portrait of a Scholar and Haman accepts his Fate are also on display. Drawings on loan include works by Dürer, Rubens, Watteau and Ingres, while sculptures include the terracotta study by Bernini for The Ecstasy of Saint Theresa and one of Antonio Canova's masterpieces, Mary Magdalen in meditation. The exhibition also has notable examples of the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings in the Hermitage, including works by Monet, Cézanne, Renoir, Gauguin and Matisse, the latter represented by The Game of Bowls and Conversation. There are three canvases by Picasso, including Seated Woman and The Absinth Drinker, while this section will be completed with two Russian avant-garde abstract works, Composition VI by Kandinsky and Malevich's enigmatic Black Painting.
