>The City Palace was also a stage for imperial amusements: sometimes the emperor let guests and artists lodge on the ground floor; some – the Austrian sculptor Pettich, the French painter Biard, and the Neapolitan Cicarellie are usually mentioned – even set up their workshops there. (It was said that when the palace was being repaired, a walled-up skeleton once appeared in one of the rooms, creating a buzz, but it turned out that a painter who had had his studio there had used the skeleton for anatomical study.) ___________________________ **Source:** [François-Auguste Biard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois-Auguste_Biard) ___________________________ #Happy April Fools!
