24. The peaceful protest achieved its goal four days after the demonstration, on 12 April 1917,
when the Provisional Government issued an order on the provisional autonomy of Estonia. The
Livonian counties of Tartu, Võru, Viljandi, Pärnu and Saaremaa were united with the rest of the
country to form the autonomous Governorate of Estonia. There was another achievement – for
the first time, an Estonian, Jaan Poska, was appointed as the provincial commissioner of Estonia.
On 8 April 1917, 40,000 Estonians held a
demonstration in St Petersburg in support of the self-
governing autonomy for their country.

26. Diego de Guevara (ca. 1517)

27. Wikipedia:
Michael Sittow (c. 1469 – 1525) was a painter
from Reval (now Tallinn, Estonia) who was trained
in the tradition of Early Netherlandish painting.
For most of his life, Sittow worked as a court
portrait painter, for Isabella of Castille,
the Habsburgs and others in Spain and the
Netherlands. He was one of the most important
Flemish painters of the era.
