Base of the Suvorov Monument, St Petersburg, Russia, 2011. Detail. The monument, sculpted by Mikhail Kozlovsky in 1801, depicts Russian general Alexander Suvorov (1729-1800) as a youthful Mars, Roman god of war. In a military career lasting almost 60 years, Suvorov never lost a battle. In 1799-1800, during the War of the Second Coalition against France, he led a Russian army on an epic retreat across the Alps reminiscent of Hannibal.
