Alexander Hall of the Winter Palace
The Alexander Hall of the Winter Palace, St Petersburg, was created following the fire of 1837 by Alexander Briullov.[1] The room commemorates the reign of Emperor Alexander I and the Napoleonic Wars.
Decorated in an unusual Gothicised version of classicism, the walls contain twenty-four medallions commemorating Russia's victory over the French, created by the sculptor Count Fyodor Tolstoy.
