Until 1895, the Mikhailovsky Palace and Garden were the city residence of the family of Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich. And as our subscribers wrote correctly, the cannons on the berm of the Mikhailovsky Palace indicate the prince’s involvement in Russian artillery troops. Mikhail Pavlovich, being in the rank of general of the field assistant general, in 1820 participated in the creation of an artillery school for the training of artillery officers. In 1849, this educational institution in honor of the Grand Duke was called the Mikhailovsky Artillery School.

This is how one watercolor can better know the history of our country.
