介绍（中）	哈尔伯格是一位瑞典雕塑家，曾就读于圣彼得堡和罗马的美术学院。1831年，沙皇尼古拉一世委托他为圣彼得堡学院的会议厅建造了一尊凯瑟琳二世的大型大理石雕像。这个委员会使霍尔伯格获得了这所著名学府的教授的长期任命。青铜是大理石的缩小版。皇后被描绘成一位古典罗马统治者或神，戴着月桂花环，披着华丽的长袍，手里拿着卷轴。克利斯莫斯王座椅，剥去了其大胆的本质，弯曲而绝对的纯洁令人惊叹地美丽，令人放心地想起了一段安定的过去。它强调了凯瑟琳作为庄严权威的化身的特点。再加上她英姿飒爽的外表（古色古香），这一切都有力地强调了她"伟大的凯瑟琳"的声誉
介绍（英）	Hallberg, a sculptor of Swedish origin, studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Saint Petersburg and in Rome. In 1831 Czar Nicholas I commissioned from him a large marble statue of Catherine II for the conference hall of the Saint Petersburg Academy. This commission gained Hallberg a permanent appointment as professor at this prestigious institution. The bronze is a reduced version of the marble. The empress is depicted as a classical Roman ruler or deity wearing a laurel wreath and a richly draped robe and holding a scroll. The klismos throne chair, stripped to its bold essentials and strikingly beautiful in its curving and absolute purity, refers reassuringly to a settled past. It underlines Catherine's characterization as the embodiment of stately authority. Combined with her heroic appearance all'antiqua (in the antique manner), all this strongly emphasizes her reputation as "The Great Catherine."
