We bring to your attention the watercolor of Vasily Sadovnikov, which depicts the garden facade of the Mikhailovsky Palace. Thanks to this picture, one can imagine how the Mikhailovsky Garden looked in the 40s of the XIX century. Century-old trees preserved by Carl Rossi from the Third Summer Garden. Shrubbery scenes slightly covering Maslenaya meadow. To the smallest details traced the Mikhailovsky Palace. The staircase leading to the garden is still decorated with a balustrade. And on the berm are artillery pieces. This raises the question:

WHY BEFORE THE GARDEN FACADE OF THE MIKHAILOVSKY PALACE THE GUNS STANDED?
