Peter the Great was challenging, demanding, deliberately outrageous, full of contradictions. His idea of establishing a new city in 1703—the future capital of the Russian Empire, St. Petersburg—appeared as the whim of an incredibly rich, reckless, and lucky gambler. Peter wanted to astonish Russia and the entire civilized world, and he succeeded.

(Top) At the unvelling of the monument to Peter the Great in 1782, the gratified Peterbugers could nt foresee the Etienne Falconet’s work would become the most important representation of their city.

(Above) The flooding of Peterburg in 1824 inpired the creation of Pushkin’s Bronze Horseman in 1833. Thus nature, culture, and history collided conpicuously.

(Right) The Bronze Horseman, at once dashing into the sky and rooted in stone, gave birth to the legend that as long the monument remained in place Peterburg would not perish.
