  • Representations of Antique Arms and Armour in the Architectural Decor of St. Petersburg
    HISTORIA I ŚWIAT, nr 6 (2017) ISSN 2299 - 2464 Sergey NIKONENKO (Saint Petersburg State University, Russia) Representations Of Antique Arms and Armour in the Architectural decor of St. Petersburg Keywords: Architectural décor, Helmets, Armour, Saint Petersburg, Classicism Saint Petersburg has been the capital of Russian empire in 1703 – 1917. It is one of the most beautiful cities all over the world with majestic architectural ensembles. This article is devoted to the representations of antique arms in St.Petersburg’s architectural décor. I want to add that this décor has not been studied completely. But I think that it is very useful to look at St.Petersburg’s military architectural décor as the kind of retrospective and academic style in new European arts. There are two historical periods in St.Petersburg’s architecture when architects and sculptors used ancient military décor. First of them is Classicism style (1770-1840). This is the time of constructing the main architectural ensembles and squares in the centre of St.Petersburg in so called “empire style”. Second of them is New Classicism style (1904-1916). It was the time of private buildings, especially of banks and dwelling houses. This article has two parts. In First part I propose the typology of buildings and architectural décor. Then I give the full list of St.Petersburg’s buildings with ancient military décor (compiled and published for the first time). In Second Part I will try to comment some main examples of ancient military décor. I. There are several kinds of images in ancient military décor: - Gods (Athena, Ares, Apollo, Hermes) - Heroes (Achilles, Ajax, etc.) - Emperors (Alexander the Great, Caesar, etc.) - Simple soldiers and horsemen.

  • International Scholarly Conference the PEREDVIZHNIKI ASSOCIATION of ART EXHIBITIONS. on the 150TH ANNIVERSARY of the FOUNDATION
    International scholarly conference THE PEREDVIZHNIKI ASSOCIATION OF ART EXHIBITIONS. ON THE 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FOUNDATION ABSTRACTS 19th May, Wednesday, morning session Tatyana YUDENKOVA State Tretyakov Gallery; Research Institute of Theory and History of Fine Arts of the Russian Academy of Arts, Moscow Peredvizhniki: Between Creative Freedom and Commercial Benefit The fate of Russian art in the second half of the 19th century was inevitably associated with an outstanding artistic phenomenon that went down in the history of Russian culture under the name of Peredvizhniki movement. As the movement took shape and matured, the Peredvizhniki became undisputed leaders in the development of art. They quickly gained the public’s affection and took an important place in Russia’s cultural life. Russian art is deeply indebted to the Peredvizhniki for discovering new themes and subjects, developing critical genre painting, and for their achievements in psychological portrait painting. The Peredvizhniki changed people’s attitude to Russian national landscape, and made them take a fresh look at the course of Russian history. Their critical insight in contemporary events acquired a completely new quality. Touching on painful and challenging top-of-the agenda issues, they did not forget about eternal values, guessing the existential meaning behind everyday details, and seeing archetypal importance in current-day matters. Their best paintings made up the national art school and in many ways contributed to shaping the national identity. The Peredvizhniki

    Architecture and Engineering Volume 3 Issue 3 DISAPPEARED HISTORIC OPEN SPACES IN THE CENTER OF SAINT PETERSBURG Leonid Lavrov1, Fedor Perov2 1,2 Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering 2-ya Krasnoarmeiskaya st., 4, St. Petersburg, Russia 1 [email protected] Abstract The paper questions the official statement that the system of open spaces in the historic center of Saint Petersburg has preserved the "authenticity of its chief components". Conditions for the formation and subsequent reconstructions of Theater Square and areas adjacent to the Neva river are analyzed. The nature and scope of changes those areas undergone in the latter half of the 19th and early 20th centuries are identified. It is shown that Senate, Admiralty, Rumyantsev, Collegiate squares and Razvodnaya ground (used for the changing of the guard) lost their transparency which disturbed the relationship between the Neva water area and city open spaces, and that significant damage was caused to the city center panorama. It is noted that the center landscape potential was neglected due to that reason. Proposals are made to recreate the lost transparency of the city center public spaces. Keywords Landscapes of the historic center of Saint Petersburg, open spaces, reconstruction. Introduction of Monuments"). It was further emphasized that "the initial It is generally acknowledged that one of the city layout and a large portion of the original structures architectural features of the Saint Petersburg historic in Saint Petersburg's historic centre are testament to its center is its "single continuous open space formed Outstanding Universal Value... integrated value as the by rivers and canals, squares, avenues, streets and Historic Urban Landscape." However, the suggested gardens" (Shvidkovsky, 2007).
