Catherine the Great was impressed with the Vatican that she had them replicated at the Hermitage.  There was no shortage of things to look at – Leonardo da Vince’s “Madonnan Child along with the “Madonna with a flower”.  Works by Michelangelo, Vincent Van Gogh and Rembrandt.  Unfortunately, I had just a few hours and wish I could have stayed days.
