CGSB Peter by Pontus Hiort https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/56s5cektsstp en-us 2018-09-17 00:18:15 UTC 2025-10-03 13:30:13 UTC hello@padlet.com Mia https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/56s5cektsstp/wish/282486674 1. In all of the pictures, Peter is dressed very appropriately. He looks very confident in the way he is posed .
2.  The picture of Peter in all of the Russia ones have no people in it, but the one in Netherlands you can see all the people. Also it looks like the ones in Russia, Peter looks more important. 
3. I do not think that they could be accomplished as well without force. Force made them stronger and more unified. ]]> 2018-09-17 17:28:33 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/56s5cektsstp/wish/282486674 Hadley https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/56s5cektsstp/wish/282486764 1. I believe these statues of Peter the Great characterize he was serious, and they try to portray he was serious about his work as a king as well. Each one of them shows him doing a different action, all of which have to do with some form of exploring or activity. Also, he looks powerful/tall.
2. The one from the Netherlands does not look quite as realistic and they gave him longer hair. Other than that, he has the same outfit/dress code on.  3. I believe that in some ways he could have not used force, he could have tried to talk with the people more/apply laws. Honestly, I believe that you should be obedient and pay respects to your king even if either way, there are positive outcomes. ]]> 2018-09-17 17:28:39 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/56s5cektsstp/wish/282486764 Mikayla 1 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/56s5cektsstp/wish/282486977 1. they portray him as very heroic and strong and mighty 

2. the Netherlands statue does seem to have a less heroic stance than all the others and it has different facial features than the other statues 

3.  Peter is often criticized because he used force to accomplish his reforms. Do you think they could have been accomplished without force? If so, how? Do you think that the ends justify the means? In other words, it is acceptable to behave in a cruel and/or unjust manner if by the end one has reached a result from which many people benefit.

I don't think they could of been accomplished without force because there were probably a few parts in the country where people did not approve of him therefore they did not want to listen to him.

The statues are trying to convey that Peter is strong and powerful. In all of the statues he is standing tall making himself look very powerful and strong. 
2. In all of the statues in Russia Peter is standing or sitting on something, whereas in the statue from the Netherlands he is standing without being in/on something.
3. I think that he couldn't have accomplished the things he did without force, however I do not think it is acceptable for him to ]]> 2018-09-17 17:29:07 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/56s5cektsstp/wish/282487156 Mimi https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/56s5cektsstp/wish/282487559 1. I think the statues of Peter show that he was extremely powerful and can take risks.

2. In all of the St. Petersburg pictures he is either standing or sitting on something but in th Netherlands picture he is standing alone.

3. I think that if he was thinking about the country and satisfying the lives of many other people then why shouldn't be okay if it is beneficial?]]> 2018-09-17 17:29:36 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/56s5cektsstp/wish/282487559 Andie https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/56s5cektsstp/wish/282487603 1. I think these statues imply that he was very serious and hard working. 
2. The statues in Russia differentiate from the statue in the Netherlands because in Russia he always seems to be doing something productive and serious whereas in the Netherlands, he is simply standing there. ]]> 2018-09-17 17:29:38 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/56s5cektsstp/wish/282487603 Hannah https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/56s5cektsstp/wish/282487761 1. the statues show PeterThe Great as a strong and powerful man
2. in the statue in the Netherlands he is shown standing looking very serious where as the statues from St. Petersburg in Russia show him sitting or standing on something (ship) ]]> 2018-09-17 17:29:47 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/56s5cektsstp/wish/282487761 Charlotte https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/56s5cektsstp/wish/282487851 1. All of the statues show him as powerful and big. They also show that he is wealthy because he is doing somthing in every statue. (ridinga horce, on a ship, ect.)
2. the last statue is the only one where it is just him standing there. In Russia he is glorified more. This could show that he had a bigger impact on Russia than  the Netherlands. 
3. i think that he should of not used force. Vilonce only leads to vilonce.]]> 2018-09-17 17:29:51 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/56s5cektsstp/wish/282487851 Nadia https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/56s5cektsstp/wish/282487967
  • He seems very strong and powerful in all of them. He is depicted as very large and is performing hands-on tasks. The statues coney a sense of accomplishment, ambition, and determination. 
  • In this statue, Peter is smaller than he is in the other statues. Additionally, he seems less perfect physically. He also isn't doing anything in particular, he is just standing.
  • I definitely think Russia's success could have been accomplished without the level of force that Peter used. A stern sort of determination is necessary, but pure cruelty is not. For example, instead of simply forcing everyone to do 25 years of service in the military, he could require less, explain to his people why it was even necessary in the first place, and not require quite as much during peacetimes.

In all of them he was really large/ tall. Mr. Bader said he was 6 foot 9, so this may symbolize his actual height. However, this might also symbolize his power. 
    2. In the Netherlands one he almost seems untidy. His shirt isn't buttoned correctly and his jacket is too small. However, it seems that even in this one he is confident and hold himself in high self-esteem. 
    3. I believe that Peter could have accomplished what he did without the force he used. Although he used his force in a cruel manner, the fact he used any at all separated him from the other rulers before him, so he needed a little just not too much.]]>     2018-09-17 17:29:58 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/56s5cektsstp/wish/282487969     Brook https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/56s5cektsstp/wish/282488115 1. All of the statues convey him doing something important, though the last one doesn't really. They each show him in a powerful stance.
    2. In the one from the Netherlands, he's simply standing there, as opposed to the Russian ones (though one Russian one shows him sitting).
    3. Perhaps they could have been accomplished in other ways, like if rewards were offered or something as opposed to using cruelty. If he was terribly cruel, it doesn't seem completely right that he used these means though they benefitted.]]>     2018-09-17 17:30:08 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/56s5cektsstp/wish/282488115     Halle https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/56s5cektsstp/wish/282488881 1. A lot of the statues convey him to be very tall. He usually seems to have a grim expression on his face as well. One of the statues shows him building things, and I feel like that is especially trying to show that he "built" the modern Russia.
    2. The Netherlands statue looks like it is more life size than the Russian ones. The statue also seems like it is smiling more so than the other ones.

    2. The statue in the Netherlands looks to be more in the public area. In the background there is a road. But there are also similarities.

    2. In this statue, he is a bit smaller and is merely standing. He is not on a horse or ship like in the other statues.
    3. With some of his changes such as changing the "dress code", I think he could have been more lenient with his subjects. However, I think it was okay for him to enforce the mandatory 25 year service for it is a law.]]>     2018-09-17 17:31:13 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/56s5cektsstp/wish/282489149     Arielle https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/56s5cektsstp/wish/282489242 1. I would say that they make him out as powerful, and hardworking. The message I get is that of " I am not just a mere ruler, I will show you the reason to fear me with my own hands."
    2. It still gives off a powerful feeling, but the style and design is different.
    3. Honestly, I believe not.]]>     2018-09-17 17:31:18 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/56s5cektsstp/wish/282489242     Pierce https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/56s5cektsstp/wish/282489551
  • How would you characterize the statues of Peter? Try to describe what message they might seem to convey. I noticed that in a lot of the statues Peter is portrayed standing alot and very high up. He constantly looks as if he has just defeated something or someone. I think it shows how absolutist he is and how powerful he was/.
    • 2. The last image is of a statue in the Netherlands, while all others are from St. Petersburg in Russia. Are there any similarities or differences between the Russian ones and the one in the Netherlands? In the last image at least from my personal opinion I feel he looks the least powerful/mighty.
    3. Peter is often criticized because he used force to accomplish his reforms. Do you think they could have been accomplished without force? If so, how? Do you think that the ends justify the means? In other words, it is acceptable to behave in a cruel and/or unjust manner if by the end one has reached a result from which many people benefit.

They all portray him as a tall, powerful man. I say powerful because in most of them he is either holding his hands on his hips or on top of something- to signify he is great. ]]> 2018-09-17 17:32:36 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/56s5cektsstp/wish/282490341 Laura https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/56s5cektsstp/wish/282491032 1.  His statue is very tall. This could not only represent his height, but maybe also his power.
