Editorial Reviews
Eric Gibson, Wall Street Journal
Utterly absorbing. . . . [A] penetrating work of art history. . . . and a tale as gripping as any work of fiction.

Review
“[An] impressive new study. . . . This book enhances the literature on Russia’s most controversial city with its timely and elegant research.”—Rosalind P. Blakesley, Russian Review

(Rosalind P. Blakesley Russian Review )

“As the most thorough and intelligent study of Russia’s most famous monument, a monument executed by a French Enlightenment sculptor, the book will have wide appeal among scholars of history, literature, and art.”—William Mills Todd III, Harvard University
(William Mills Todd III )

“Mr. Schenker manages to encapsulate engagingly the history of St. Petersburg, of the Enlightenment in France, of equestrian sculpture from the Romans on, and of the engineering and casting of bronze figures, while telling the very human story of two sculptors.”—Priscilla S. Taylor, Washington Times

(Priscilla S. Taylor Washington Times )

“[A] gripping tale.”—John Keep, Times Literary Supplement
