The magazine Motives of Russian Architecture (1873-1880) published projects and sketches of residential buildings, public buildings, furniture, decor created by followers of the Russian style in the architecture of the second half of the 19th century, based on the tradition of folk culture. The book will allow a wide range of readers to get acquainted with the history of Russian architecture and admire the illustrations from the famous magazine, recreated on its pages in magnificent quality.
We open to readers not very famous pages of the history of Russian culture - these are the magnificent works of architects, adherents of the “Russian style”: I.P. Ropeta, V.A. Gartman, M.A. Kuzmina and others. The style, popular in the 70-80s of the XIX century, widely used techniques and details characteristic of Russian folk art. From 1873 to 1880, the colorful magazine “Motives of Russian Architecture” was published - an album of a huge format containing works performed by architects. The releases of the magazine are preserved only in the form of bibliographic rarity. But the work of the masters of the “Russian style” is full of special beauty.
What do we know about the architecture of the Russian style, developed in the 70s of the XIX century? The work of adherents of this style I. Ropet, V. Gartman, K. Lygin, M. Kuzmin and others were published in the then colorful journal “Motives of Russian Architecture”. Their work is primarily housing for people, country houses, pavilions for industrial exhibitions. They have survived mainly in the form of drawings and sketches. The “Russian style” turns a simple dwelling into a fabulous tower, painted with bright colors and covered with intricate carvings. To make sure of this, we must buy this book, open it - and we will fall into a fun, good fairy tale that Russian architects created for us.
This book is for a wide reader who wants to learn more about Russian culture. Students and teachers of schools in which they study architecture will glean a lot from it, using rare and valuable material for writing scientific works and essays.
Architecture is an art of special kind. It creates a habitat for a person, that is, it is intended not only for admiring, but also for everyday life, convenience and comfort. Life in a harmonious environment lifts the soul, raising imperceptibly and unobtrusively. To create a work of art that would meet these goals is a very difficult task. The creations of wonderful architects who managed to solve it are worthy of considering them again and again. The perfectly designed foreseeable magazine “Motives of Russian Architecture”, published from 1873 to 1880, gave those who took it in their hands, such an opportunity. He published projects and sketches of residential buildings, public buildings, furniture and decor created by followers of the so -called “Russian style” in the architecture of the second half of the 19th century. This style was based on the traditions of folk culture, reviving ancient techniques and motives of Russian architecture. Country houses, exhibition pavilions, public buildings, which were designed and built by Ropet, Kuzmin, Gartman, Lygin and their like -minded people, look like magic tower from Russian folk tales. Admiring them now, we are like traveling through fabulous Russia. And at the same time, we will learn Russia closer to the second half of the XIX century, when it was updated and won, boldly looked into the future and was proud of national traditions.
