Winter Palace

The Winter Palace was the official residence of the Russian emperors during the XVIII- XX centuries. Located in the heart of St. Petersburg, this ancient imperial palace is currently part of the Hermitage State Museum complex. The current building was built between 1754 and 1762 by the Italian architect Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli in Baroque style. This is called the Russian Baroque architectural style under the reign of the empress Isabel Petrovna (1741-1761) which includes elements of the French rococo in its interior. The Russian artist Eduard Gau showed in his watercolors all the splendor, brightness and opulence of the interior of the imperial palace. .
