Atlantes figures supporting the portico of the New Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia
Short TermAtlantes figures supporting the portico of the New Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The figures are made of polished granite and depict muscular male nudes with their arms raised, supporting the entablature. The sky is a deep blue, indicating it is either dusk or dawn. In the foreground, a person wearing glasses and a dark jacket over a light shirt is lying on the ground, their head tilted back and eyes closed, appearing to be sleeping or resting. Behind them, a statue of a robed figure, possibly a religious icon, is visible within an alcove. The architecture of the building is classical, with ornate detailing and columns. The overall scene captures a moment of stillness and grandeur, juxtaposing the monumental sculptures with the presence of a human figure.
