The Apotheosis of Peter's Military Glory showcases Pickaert's artistic prowess in immortalizing Peter the Great's triumphs in 1717. Empress Catherine II, known as Catherine the Great, captivates us with her regal presence in Rokotov's stunning portrait from 1763. Belousov brings forth a glimpse into military life with his depiction of a Junker from the Life-Guards Caucasian-Mountain squadron in 1829.

Serov beautifully portrays Emperor Nicholas II during his coronation ceremony at Assumption Cathedral—a moment filled with pomp and splendor. The anonymous artist commemorates Catherine II on the balcony of Winter Palace during the palace revolution in June 1762—an event that shaped Russian history. Chorikov’s artwork transports us back to Ivan III’s marriage to Sophia Palaiologina in 1472—a union that solidified Russia’s ties with Byzantium. Lastly, Erichsen paints Empress Catherine the Great adorned in her coronation robe—symbolizing her reign as one of Russia’s most influential rulers.
