SynopsisFirst detailed account of how so much of Empress Josephine's collection came to be at the Hermitage Museum., Empress Josephine's collection of old master paintings at her chateau of Malmaison, outside Paris, was rightly regarded as one of the finest in Europe. After her divorce from Napoleon, Josephine was befriended by Tsar Alexander I of Russia, and on her death in 1814, he acquired a significant part of the collection. This text shows these works in their proper context once more."
