This concise study of one of Giacomo Quarenghi's first works in Russia, built in 1782 for Catherine the Great in the park of Tsarskoe Selo, demonstrates how a building, diminutive compared with the palaces of Tsarskoe Selo, had a major impact on the style and architecture of the age. -- Summary written by John W.
