The desire of Peter the Great to make Russia one of the European commonwealths initiated the birth of medallic art, which before this was unknown in the Tsardom of Moscow. The famous Nuremberg medallist Philipp Heinrich Müller was ordered to create a series of 26 medals commemorating events of the Northern War. The medals were produced in 1713‒1714 using the highest quality materials and corresponding to European medallic traditions. Beginning in 1716, these commemorative medals were produced in Moscow for presentational purposes: they were presented as gifts to foreigners and senior officers of the state. The letters highlighted in the Latin legend refer to the date, on which the event took place.

Emperor Paul I (1754–1801) was the only son of Emperor Peter III and Empress Catherine the Great. In 1762 he was named heir to the throne and given the title of Tsesarevich. He received an excellent education and believed in the romantic ideals of enlightened absolutism, but was critical of the policies of Catherine the Great. He spent decades waiting for the power that his mother had usurped. He became emperor in 1796. His efforts were intended to be to the state’s benefit, but he often acted against common sense. At his coronation in Moscow in 1797 he promulgated the Establishment of the Imperial Family which laid down that accession to the throne should be by primogeniture in the male line. He reformed local government. He restricted the rights of the nobility and allowed corporal punishment to be used on them. Military reforms affected not only uniforms and equipment, but also training and the tactics of officers and soldiers, with an emphasis on the Prussian military school. In an effort to protect Russia from revolutionary ideas, he banned the import of books from France and tightened censorship. In 1798, he took on the title of Grand Master of the Knights of St John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes and of Malta (Hospitaller), and took it under his patronage. He was killed by conspirators in St Michael’s Castle during the night of 11–12 March 1801, but according to the official version he died of an apoplectic fit (a stroke).

One of the most important aspects of the life of the Russian nobility was balls. The main element of the ball was dancing. In the eighteenth century, balls traditionally began with a minuet. At the start of the nineteenth century, however, the opening dance was the polonaise, followed by the waltz. The waltz was a fashionable dance for young people, only permitted at balls as a tribute to the changing times. The centre and culmination of the ball was the mazurka. One of the concluding dances was the cotillion. Play and Passion in Russian Fine Art. St-Petersburg. 1999. P. 128.
Balls and festivities in the Winter Palace were major events in St Petersburg high society. In the centre of the hall there is a fancy - dress procession with many participants dressed in oriental costumes. This period, the age of Romanticism, was characterised by an interest in oriental culture. At one such festivity in 1821, the future Emperor Nicholas I was dressed as a Bokhara prince, and his wife, Charlotte of Prussia, as an Indian princess. Play and Passion in Russian Fine Art.

Nikolai Sverchkov, the son of a court coachman and groom, dedicated his entire artistic career to equine painting and the Imperial Court, which frequently commissioned work from him. Regardless of the subject, his canvases almost always featured horses. The portraits Sverchkov painted were no exception. The artist’s models, as a rule, either were riding in horse-drawn carriages or were sitting on horses. This half-portrait/half-genre painting by Sverchkov is devoid of the usual pomp of works that depict the emperor – this case, Nicholas I – and shows him outside of an official situation, causing us to see him less as an autocrat, and more as a private person.
Emperor Nicholas I (1796–1855) was the third son of Emperor Paul I and Empress Marie Feodorovna. He ascended to the throne in 1825. The reign of Nicholas I is characterised by the centralisation of government and regulation in all areas of activity. In 1826, he created the Third Section of His Imperial Majesty’s Own Chancellery, which was tasked with monitoring the political reliability of subjects, and in 1827, he published a new censorship decree, which was called “cast iron” by his contemporaries. The foundation of his domestic policies was the principle of “autocracy, orthodoxy and nationality”. The sanctity of the autocracy also formed the basis for his foreign policy. In 1833, an agreement was reached between Russia, Austria and Prussia on reciprocal support in the case of a political crisis. This agreement is what led Nicholas I to send troops to help suppress the Hungarian Uprising (1848–1849). His assumption of the role of protector of Christian peoples under Muslim rule determined the direction of his Eastern foreign policy. The Russo-Turkish War (1828–1829) contributed to Greece gaining its independence (1830). The last years of Nicholas I’s reign were overshadowed by setbacks in the Crimean War (1853–1856). The character and activities of the Emperor caused contradictory assessments among his contemporaries, from enthusiastic veneration (“The Knight of Autocracy”) to definitive opposition (“The Gendarme of Europe”).

Fancy dress balls were very popular among the Russian nobility of the eighteenth century. Although by that time their external appearance was already entirely European, they were not always marked by the same European refinement. The wedding of the court jester of Prince Golitsyn and the jester of Buzheninova, held by Empress Anna Ioannovna on 6 February 1740 in an ice house on the Neva, was one of the most original, but also absurd and crude, ventures of her ten - year reign.
The banquet is over and the newly - weds have set off, accompanied by their numerous and brightly coloured procession, in their previous order, to the ice house. Here, to the sound of trumpets, kettle drums and oboes and choir of goats, bulls, dogs and donkeys, they have been let out of their iron cage and led with fitting honour to the bedroom, where they have been locked in. The convoy has dispersed. Sentries have been placed outside the house so that the loving couple make their cannot escape. Such is the altar to Hymen... Everything you sit on or touch is ice - the walls, the wedding bed, the gob lets. Everything blazes with the cold; closer, tighter, finally smothering and freezing them.
[I. Lazhechnikov, The Ice House] Play and Passion in Russian Fine Art. St-Petersburg. 1999. P. 152.
Valery Jacoby painted a whole series of pictures with subjects taken from the time of Empress Anna Ioannovna. The painting The Ice House occupies a special place among them, and depicts one of the strangest episodes in the life of the imperial court.
The Ice House was built on the square between the Admiralty and the Winter Palace during Shrovetide in 1739. The outside walls and the inner décor were entirely made of ice. The Ice House was the site of the marriage of the Empress’s jester Prince Mikhail Golitsyn to her female jester Eudoxia Buzheninova (probably a deliberate nickname, as buzhenina was the Empress’s favourite dish, cold baked pork). Besides the Empress and her courtiers, the wedding festivities were attended by a total of 150 representatives of the various nationalities inhabiting the Russian Empire, including Ukrainians, White Russians, Finns, Tatars, Komi-Zyrians and Kamchadals (Itelmens). The guests donned their national attire and engaged in traditional folk dancing. When the feast was over, the newly-weds were taken back to the Ice House and locked in for the night.
The story of the jester’s wedding led Ivan Lazhechnikov to write a critical novel entitled The Ice House. Although Valery Jacoby appears to have read the book, his painting concentrates more on the external facets of the episode. The artist depicts the bright and motley crowd dancing before the Empress and her courtiers.

Under Alexander I he was attached as a supernumerary to the mission to Vienna, and was then put at the disposal of the Commander-in-Chief of the Transdanubian Army, Nikolai Kamensky.

In 1822 he concluded a postal convention with Prussia and Austria that speeded up the delivery of letters from abroad. He was appointed privy councillor in 1826 and director of the Department of Posts in 1831. He was well known for his generous philanthropic work, his love of literature and art and for organising numerous charitable evenings; he was friends with many figures in the arts and with contemporaries who were collectors (in particular Alexei Tomilov).

The porcelain sculptures occupied a significant place in the production of the Kornilov brothers’ porcelain factory. Following the Imperial Porcelain Factory in the mid-1840s, the factory's products were replenished with images of genre scenes from the lives of city merchants and artisans.
The enterprise began to produce typical figurines of street vendors and pedlars, craftsmen, famous actors. Popular at that time lithographs of famous artists were the source for the genre miniatures and statuettes. In 1851, the Cabinet of His Imperial Majesty purchased seven "porcelain dolls" for His Highness Prince Saxe-Weimar in the factory shop. Among them was a fish seller. The figure was sculpted after the lithograph by the same name, made by K. Kolman.
Karl Kolman (1786-1847) is a watercolour painter, a native of Augsburg, who received an initial art education at the Munich Academy of Arts, and then at the Imperial Academy of Arts in Russia. The artist, possessing the gift of observation, studied the life of Russian people with interest, embodying it in his watercolours and lithographs.

His teaching on the universe as an “all-encompassing unity” that united the Christian tradition with the West European idealism of the 19th century gave an impulse to the appearance and development of a whole school of philosophy (Lev Karsavin, Evgeny Trubetskoy, Semyon Frank and others), and his poetry and critical essays helped the development of literary Symbolism. He taught in the St Petersburg University as well as in other educational institutes in the capital.

This three-quarter portrait of Empress Elizabeth Alexeyevna is unique in its artistic value and was created at the St Petersburg Tapestry Manufactory in the early 19th century, when the art of tapestry in Russia was flourishing. At this time, the rare portrait genre occupied a special place among works by the manufactory. Artists created woven images of royal personages, members of their family, and individuals closely linked to the court milieu. The use of expensive kinds of wool and improved methods of dyeing allowed for the high quality of the work that made it possible for the weavers to achieve subtle modelling of light and shadow in faces and thus of expressions.

Like many of his colleagues, Vyacheslav Pakulin addressed the industrial theme in the early 1930s. The artist was interested in his human heroes and the possibility of a painterly interpretation of an industrial subject. Pakulin "revolves" the space of the shop floor, filling it with the rhythmic movements of the workers. The unceasing motion evokes the sensation of the constancy and stability of the efforts of labour. The artist s soft silhouettes and light, subtly degraded painting add a poetic touch. On the reverse side of the canvas, the artist noted the exact dates of work on the painting: December 1931 - February 1932.

Nikolai Alexeyevich Nekrasov (1821–1877/1878), a poet, prose writer and publicist, was born into the landed gentry. At the age of seventeen he went to St Petersburg to enter university, despite the wishes of his father who wanted his son to follow a military career. Because of this wilfulness his father deprived him of any material support, and so as not to die of hunger Nekrasov undertook coaching and wrote poetry and stories to commissions from the capital’s booksellers, for which he received a pittance. During this period he got to know Vissarion Belinsky, who had a great influence over him, moral, literary and ideological. In 1847 Nekrasov, together with the writer Ivan Panayev, bought the “Sovremennik”, which had been set up by Pushkin. The government stopped the journal from being published for eight months in 1862, and banned it completely in 1866. A year-and-a-half later Nekrasov rented “Otechestvennye zapiski” and was the journal’s editor, along with Saltykov-Shchedrin, from 1868 until his death. The depiction of the harsh life of the peasantry and the urban poor and his sympathy for the difficult lot of women were distinctive features of his work. He said of himself: “I have dedicated my lyre to my people” and he called his muse “the muse of vengeance and sorrow”.

The mass publication of works by Russian and foreign writers in the Cheap Library series played an important educative role.

Ilya Repin particularly enjoyed painting portraits of musicians. A leading Russian composer, conductor and professor of the St Petersburg Conservatoire, Alexander Glazunov (1865–1936) continued the traditions of the Russian Five and Peter Tchaikovsky in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. When the artist painted this portrait, the composer had already written two symphonies and the symphonic poem Stenka Razin. Glazunov repaid the debt in 1889 by dedicating an ode to Repin — Oriental Rhapsody for Large Orchestra. Russian Museum: From Icons to the Modern Times. Palace Editions, St Petersburg, 2015. P. 182.
