St. Petersburg’s Sumptuous Winter Palace
Larger Than Life: Art that inspires us through the ages
Russia’s monumental pastel-green Winter Palace in St. Petersburg was once home to some of the country’s most notable emperors and empresses. The palace encompasses many types of art and architecture, including Baroque, Neoclassical, and Gothic styles, through to Rococo.

She favored the new Neoclassical style of architecture, and so the palace took on a more refined style.
