Wonderful art and architecture books, 31 Jan 2001
By Sean Crosky - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Imperial Palaces in the Vicinity of St.Petersburg: Watercolours, Paintings and Engravings from the XVIIIth and XIXth Centuries (Hardcover)
These four volumes are a wonfderful collectionof watercolours and grisailles from the times of Imperial Russia. They would be suitable for anyone with an interestin art, architecture, Russia and St Petersburg. They show the four palaces (sadly there is no volume for other palaces such as Ropsha, Strelna or Oranienbaum) as they were before they were destroyed by the Germans in WWII. The palaces (both interiors and exteriors) as well as their gardens are brought to life by this wonderful collection. They are shown as they exisited throughout the 19th century and are interesting not only for their artistic and architectual merits but also for their intrinsic historic and cultural value. Very strongle recommended.

A majestic portrait!, 5 Mar 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Imperial Palaces in the Vicinity of St.Petersburg: Watercolours, Paintings and Engravings from the XVIIIth and XIXth Centuries (Hardcover)
I can't express how exquisitely these 4 volumes are packaged. Take a look at the price!!! There is a large case that contains four slender volumes bound in what appears to be handmade paper. Each volume focuses on one of four palaces. Each one contains watercolours with a description paragraph to the left. The watercolours are breathtakingly reproduced -- bright colors, intricate details. Treat yourself to these four, perhaps the most beautiful book ever produce on the subject of Imperial Russia. Go ahead and splurge!
Listmania!
