## Commentary

Rossi constructed the triumphal arch connecting the two unified General Staff buildings opposite the Winter Palace. The arch facing the Palace Square is crowned by an attic, which bears a statue of Victory in a chariot drawn by six horses. The rest of the sculptural ornamentation glorifies the victory over Napoleon. The photo shows a view to the Alexander Column and the Winter Palace.
