Alexander Hall of the Winter Palace, State room in Winter Palace, Russia.
The Alexander Hall features twenty-four medallions on its walls, celebrating victories against Napoleon through military and allegorical representations.
Architect Alexander Briullov created this memorial space in 1838 following a reconstruction period after the Winter Palace fire of 1837.
The hall combines Western European Gothic architecture with Empire style elements, incorporating Russian double-headed eagles and traditional military symbols.
The space contains seven pairs of supporting columns that extend into fan vaults, forming the structural framework of this ceremonial chamber.
The end wall displays a medallion depicting Emperor Alexander I represented as Rodomysl, an ancient Slavonic deity.
