"The War Gallery of the Winter Palace" is a renowned series of 332 portraits of generals who participated in the Patriotic War of 1812, commissioned by Emperor Nicholas I of Russia to commemorate the Russian victory over Napoleon. The gallery is housed within the Winter Palace, now part of the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The portraits were painted by English artist George Dawe and his Russian assistants, Alexander Polyakov and Wilhelm August Golicke, between 1820 and 1828.

Eduard Hau, a Baltic German painter active in the 19th century, is known for his detailed interior views of the Winter Palace and other significant buildings in Saint Petersburg. His work provides a valuable historical record of the opulent interiors of the time. Among his pieces is a depiction of the War Gallery, which captures the grandeur and architectural detail of the space, as well as the impressive array of military portraits. Hau's painting is not only significant for its artistic merit but also serves as a historical document, offering insight into the interior design and cultural values of Imperial Russia.

Hau's rendition of the War Gallery is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, capturing the essence of the original portraits and the ornate interior with precision. His work reflects the 19th-century European tradition of interior painting, where artists would often be commissioned to create records of significant cultural and historical spaces. The painting by Eduard Hau stands as a testament to the grandiosity of the Winter Palace and the importance placed on the remembrance of military achievements in Russian history.
