Zimnii dvorets Petra I (The Winter Palace of Peter I)

St. Petersburg: Herm, 2006. Saddle-stitched. The rooms discovered under a late eighteenth-century wing of the Winter Palace have enabled Hermitage architectural historians to recreate several rooms of Peter the Great’s palace of the early 1700s. Furnishing them with objects that belonged to Peter and with such works of English and French decorative art and furniture that Peter favored, curators have recreated the rooms as examples of Peter’s Europeanizing impulse. 46 p., 6 1/2 x 9 1/4 ins., 6 b-&-w illus, 31 color, Rus. Series: Series: Halls and Buildings of the Hermitage (Zaly i zdaniia Ermitazha). Item #2283
