Cycle "Russian Baroque Architecture" Automatic translate

On Tuesdays at 19.00.

The author’s cycle of lectures by Kirill Posternak "Architecture of the Russian Baroque" is dedicated to one of the brightest pages in the history of Russian architecture - the Baroque era. During the lectures, listeners will be able to trace the development of Russian baroque from its predecessor, a kind of "Naryshkin style" of the late 17th century, through the experiments of Peter the Great, to the bright flourishing of the Elizabethan baroque in the mid-18th century and its gradual fading after the accession of Catherine II. Separate lectures will also be devoted to the Petrine Baroque in Moscow, the construction of St. Petersburg and the work of Francesco Rastrelli.
