About this Item

[The left margin very tightly trimmed, a small wormhole in the left margin, otherwise a very good and clean copy except for a few faint foxing spots]. Giacomo Quarenghi (1744-1817) became one of the most important Russian architects through his numerous buildings (which still exist today) in St. Petersburg and Moscow. In 1779 he went to Russia for the first time and first created some buildings in Moscow, before he was called to St. Petersburg by Catherine the Great in 1781 and designed some of the most important buildings there. These included the building of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the English Palace in Peterhof, the Alexander Palace and later the Smolny. Here is a detail of the theater of the Hermitage in St. Petersburg. - Cf. Sandro Angelini / Vladirmir Piljavskij / Vanni Zanella: Giacomo Quarenghi, [= Monumenta Bergomensia LXVII], 1984. no. 131 (page 113, with illustration). ----- BITTE BEACHTEN: Auf Grund der absurden und irrsinnig teuren staatlichen Regelungen für die Entsorgung der Versandpappen in den nachfolgenden Ländern, kann ich leider nicht mehr liefern nach: Österreich, Griechenland, Polen.
