Summary

Description
Русский: Модель конной статуи Петра выполнена скульптором Этьеном Фальконе в 1768—1770. Голову Петра лепила ученица этого скульптора, Мари Анн Колло. Змею по замыслу Фальконе вылепил Фёдор Гордеев. Отливка статуи осуществлялась под руководством литейных дел мастера Екимова Василия Петровича и была закончена в 1778 году. Архитектурно-планировочные решения и общее руководство осуществлял Ю. М. Фельтен. Высота 10,4 м.
Deutsch: Der eherne Reiter (russisch Медный всадник / Medny wsadnik; wörtlich Der kupferne Reiter) bezeichnet das 1782 errichtete bronzene Reiterstandbild des Zaren Peter der Große auf dem Sankt Petersburger Senatsplatz. Wegen des 1833 erschienenen Gedichts „Der eherne Reiter“ von Puschkin, das von diesem Denkmal handelt, bekam die Figur ihren charakteristischen Beinamen. Die Reiterstatue ist eines der weltbekannten Wahrzeichen von Sankt Petersburg. Zar Peter I. sitzt „hoch zu Ross“ auf einem sich aufbäumenden Pferd. Unter den Hufen des Pferdes wird eine Schlange zertreten – die Szene soll Peters Sieg über die Schweden symbolisieren.
English: The Bronze Horseman (Russian: Медный всадник) is an equestrian statue of Peter the Great in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Commissioned by Catherine the Great, it was created by the French sculptor Étienne Maurice Falconet. It is also the name of a narrative poem written by Aleksander Pushkin about the statue in 1833, widely considered to be one of the most significant works of Russian literature. The statue came to be known as the Bronze Horseman because of the poem's great influence and success. The statue is now one of the symbols of Saint Petersburg, in much the same way that the Statue of Liberty is a symbol of New York City. Both of them were designed and built by French artists.
