Gonzaga Gallery

The Gonzaga Gallery in Pavlovsk was painted by Gonzaga himself, who depicted five arched galleries separated by double pilasters, with wreaths "imitating stucco" and sculptures of winged goddesses above the arches. The ceiling painting transformed it into a semi-circular vault, visually increasing the height, while the floor was painted "to imitate stone." In 1822–1824, architect Carlo Rossi added a library with large arched windows framed by rosette ornaments above the gallery, and during the 2005–2011 restoration, the painting was executed in a yellow-ochre color scheme to match the palace facade. The "Urn of Fate," mistakenly assembled due to lost blueprints, and a bronze Mercury, which disappeared during the war and was later found in the Graz Museum, were also located here.
