“From dignitaries to CEO’s, to those who simply just want a beautiful and affordable piece of artwork for their home, the Hermitage Gallery in Rochester has become the favored gallery of choice for a large range of customers in search of that perfect work of art. We are often referred to as “The DIA of the North” because of our vast collection of 18th, 19th, and 20th century oil paintings. One of the most notable piece is “The Seamstress” also known as “The Lacemaker” by Charles-Amable Lenoir. It is not only the immense variety of artwork we have that make our customers so satisfied, but we also offer free consultation, delivery, and installation.” ~Hermitage Gallery website
