:15:00
They can't see me
:15:09
This seems like the Vatican.
Is that where we are?
:15:18
Those reliefs are painted,
are they not?
:15:21
What naturalism!
:15:24
Weren't those decorations inspired
by sketches of Raphael?
:15:29
Raphael, yes.
:15:33
Better than the Vatican.
This is St Petersburg
:15:36
So they're copies?
:15:38
Your authorities don't trust
your own artists
:15:42
Russians are so talented
at copying!
:15:46
Why?
:15:48
Because you don't have
ideas of your own
:15:51
Your authorities don't want you
to have them
:15:56
In fact, they are as lazy
as all the rest of you
:16:02
Lazy!
:16:04
There was a painting gallery here
:16:07
- On the upper floor
- With 111 Italian paintings
:16:12
- But not the best masters
- Not the best
:16:16
The tsars were mainly Russophiles
:16:24
But they dreamed of Italy
:16:26
Wasn't the Hermitage created
to satisfy those dreams?
:16:31
- Raphael isn't for you
- Not for us
:16:34
- For Italy
- Italy...
:16:36
- It's warm there!
- Warm?
:16:44
What beauty!
:16:52
The small Italian gallery...
