| Abstract: | It could have been by pure coincidence or may be, by divine Providence, that my country's opening to the present time world, the act which was now and then nicknamed as 'the window's cutting open to Europe by Peter the Great' happened at the time of the domination of the Baroque style in the history of art. The artistic refinement of the Baroque style, its brightness, its festivity, its elegance became the fine space frame for the admission of itussian high society, architects and artists to the modern, enlightened environment of early modern history. |
| Description: | This paper which has been specially prepared for this newsletter by architect Vladimir Krogius of INRECON, Moscow is based on publications on Russian art history mainly by V Zgura (1926). B. Vipper (1978) and A. lcomikov (1990). |
