EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Great Palace in Oranienbaum, Russia, as it stood in 1758. The palace was originally constructed between 1710 and 1726 for Aleksandr Danilovich Menshikov, a prominent statesman and close confidant of Peter the Great. Designed by architects Giovanni Maria Fontana and Gottfried Schaedel, this imperial residence underwent a stunning transformation in the 1750s under the skilled hands of Bartolomeo Francesco Rastrelli. Nestled on the picturesque Gulf of Finland, this baroque masterpiece exudes grandeur and elegance. The lush greenery surrounding the palace creates a harmonious blend with its architectural splendor. As you gaze upon this painting by Friedrich Hartmann Barisien, you can almost feel yourself transported back to the eighteenth century. The fine art image captures not only the physical beauty of Oranienbaum but also reflects an important era in Russian history. This royal palace served as a symbol of power and opulence during that time period. Now preserved within the collection of State Open-air Museum Oranienbaum, this oil painting serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. It allows us to appreciate not only the talent of Barisien but also marvel at the craftsmanship displayed by Fontana, Schaedel, and Rastrelli. Whether you are an admirer of architecture or simply drawn to natural landscapes intertwined with human creation, this print offers a glimpse into a world where beauty knows no bounds.
