The General Staff building of the Hermitage

Designed by Carlo Rossi and built in 1819-1829, this is a building laid out in the shape of an arch, with an arch, in Palace Square. The building consists of two blocks, forming a 580-meter arc. There is a triumphal arch, dedicated to the victory in the War of 1812, decorated with a sculptural composition in the form of a chariot drawn by six horses. In the chariot is the winged goddess of Fame, holding a standard in his left hand, and a laurel branch in the right. The composition is made by sculptors Stepan Pimenov and Vasily Demuth-Malinovsky. Inside is a museum where paintings of many famous artists such as Van Gogh, Matisse, Renoir, Monet, and Cézanne each have a separate room.
