The granite embankment of the Neva River on Vasilievsky island is one of the symbols of the maritime city. This historical harbor till the middle of the 19th century received trade vessels from many countries and was one of the most bustling places. Nowadays it is a quiet place for strollers who enjoy the picturesque view of the Peter and Paul Fortress – the small citadel intended to protect the city in the 18 century. Robert Miph's lyrical talent reveals the beauty of St. Petersburg's mists. The Dark contours of the fortress walls with a golden spire recall to us its mighty past. This painting is 25 X 20.
