“[He] possessed a hidden talent for all the arts. He painted well, he was patron of the ballet and the original financial backer of Sergei Diaghilev, he collected ancient icons, he visited Paris twice a year and he adored giving elaborate parties at his splendid palace in Tsarskoe Selo. A king-hearted man, he fell victim to eccentricities. A stranger…was certain to be taken aback by the roughness and by the shouting voice of this grand seigneur of Russia. He treated the younger grand dukes with maximum contempt.” (Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich)
