War gallery of Winter palace

The gallery devoted to the War of 1812 was created by Carlo Rossi in 1826 in commemoration of Russian victories in the Napoleonic Wars. On the walls hang 332 portraits of the generals who were heroes of the Patriotic War of 1812 and European campaigns of 1813-14. These portraits were created by the British artist George Dawe with the participation of Russian artists Alexander Poliakov and Wilhelm Golike. At the short ends of the Gallery hang equestrian portraits of Emperor Alexander I and his ally in the war with Napoleon, Frederick William III of Prussia (both by Franz Kruger), and of the Austrian Emperor Francis I (by Johann Peter Krafft). Formal portraits of General-Field Marshals Mikhail Kutuzov and Mikhail Barclay de Tolly are hung on the sides of the door leading to the St. George Hall (Large Throne Room).
