Description
The Monument to Nicholas I is a bronze equestrian monument of Nicholas I of Russia on St Isaac's Square - in front of Saint Isaac's Cathedral - in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Created by French sculptor Auguste de Montferrand and unveiled on July 7, 1859, the six-meter statue was considered a technical wonder at the time of its creation. It is one of only a few bronze statues with only two support points - the rear hooves of the horse. Another example is the 1852 equestrian statue of U.S. President Andrew Jackson.
