oil on canvas, 1870, The Russian Museum, St. Petersburg.
Professor Blois comments on Falconet's Bronze Horseman:
My favorite image of the Bronze Horseman is Vasilii Surikov's painting of it with St Isaac's in the background on a cold, moonlit night. This painting was exhibited in DC (@ the Renwick, which housed the exhibition "Russian painting 1850-1910" which was on view in 1986 and had been delayed from its original 1980 show date by the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan).
