The abundance of air, the grandiosnosis of bribing spaces allowed to characterize the hall as fulfilled in the "Byzantine taste".

Winter Palace Currently. Today's winter palace keeps the memory of different era: the works of Rastrelli are striking the fancy of architectural fantasies; The appearance of the parade premises reminds official ceremonies; decoration of residential chambers of the second halves XIX. The century demonstrates a huge range of selection of architectural types.

It is hardly the most visited landmark of the Northern Capital of Russia - the Winter Palace. The building was built in the middle of the XVIII century, the project it was developed by the Count Francesco Rastrelli. Palace built in accordance with the canons of Russian Baroque, the times of the Empress Elizabeth Petrovna. The style of the interior of the building is somewhat different - individual elements of Rococo (French) are used here.

Until the beginning of the XX century, the palace was an imperial residence. In the pre-revolutionary time in the building is located hospital. After the revolutionary events in the palace a member Temporary government. Later in the building are located museum expositions.

Prehistory

Before the baroque building was built, which is today the decoration of the Palace Square, there were other winter imperial residences. There were four such buildings (or even five, if you consider one-story house Peter I.).

The first two were built at the beginning of the XVIII century, in the Petrovsk Epoch. The third building was built for Anna Ioannovnawhich Petrovskaya Residence seemed too close. More precisely, it was not the construction of a new building, but a restructuring and a significant expansion of the old. In the rebuilt palace there were about a hundred bedrooms, about seven dozen halls, theater and many other premises. What is interesting, almost immediately after the end of construction, this building was decided to rebuild (expand), which was soon implemented.

For Elizabeth Petrovna The expansion of the building was continued. All new and new office premises were attached to him, which was not on the benefit of the architectural appearance of the palace. As a result, the structure looked as strange that it caused the displeasure of the empress and the negative reviews of her contemporaries. The building was again expanded (this time with such a calculation so that his appearance was pleased with the eye). But when the empress decided to increase the palace not only in length and width, but also height, the architect decided to simply build it again. This decision was approved by the Empress. In the meantime, construction work was going, the Empress was in a temporary palace (fourth). It was disassembled in the 60s of the XVIII century.

Construction of the palace and interior design

Construction of a building that today is one of the main architectural attractions of St. Petersburg, approximately seven years. In the middle of the XVIII century, the palace was the most high building In the city (speech here is about residential buildings). It was almost one and a half thousand rooms.

The customer of the building (Elizabeth Petrovna) until the end of construction did not live. They were completed during the reign Catherine II.. In the mid-60s of the XVIII century, it was transferred to several hundred paintings from abroad, most of whose authors belonged to the Dutch-Flemish school. It is these canvases that marked the beginning of the exposition that today can be seen in the palace. Until our time, less than hundreds of these pictures have been preserved. By the way, the name of the famous museum - hermitage Museum - It comes from the name of those palace chambers, in which paintings were originally placed.

In the 30s of the XIX century, the building happened strong firewho destroyed almost all his interiors. The flame was stuck almost three days, it was not possible to put it off. During the fire, thirteen people were killed (fire and soldiers). There is a version that in fact the dead was more, but official sources hid this fact. After a fire in the palace, serious restoration work was carried out. They lasted for about two years and demanded from architects and builders of tremendous effort.

In the 80s of the XIX century, the palace thundered explosion - It was an attempt to kill the emperor, implemented by a terrorist organization. Many soldiers standing in Karaul were injured, several people were killed. The emperor did not suffer.

The first years of the 20th century were marked by two significant events in the history of the palace - this is a grand costume ball And, two years later, Shot of a peaceful demonstration (Unarmed workers went through the square to the palace to transfer the emperor petition).

In the post-revolutionary period, the palace was announced state Museum. Soon the first exhibition opened in it. Until the early 40s of the 20th century, two were adjacent to the building state Museum - Hermitage and Museum of Revolution.

In the war years, palace cellars were converted to bomb shelterBut eventually used as residential premises: they constantly lived about two thousand people. There were collections of several museums in the halls of the palace: the exposition of the Hermitage itself (more precisely, its part was covered, since the rest was evacuated), as well as the values \u200b\u200bof a number of other urban museums. They were covered in the building and works of art from other palaces (located in the suburbs).

In wartime, the building suffered greatly from the bombs and artillery shelling. After the war, his recovery lasted for many years.

Architectural features and color

The palace is built in the form of a kara. It is formed by filties, facades and inland yard. All rooms and facades are distinguished by lush trim. Main facade facing square, decorates it arch. The rhythm of the palace columns is characterized by variability, rizalitis strongly come forward - these and other features of the building create the impression of the speakers, and also give the palace even more solemnity and majesty.

As mentioned above, in the middle of the XVIII century, the palace was the highest structure in the city (Among residential buildings). In the 40s of the XIX century, the imperial decree was released, prohibiting the construction of such houses, which would be superior to the height of the imperial residence. More precisely, the decree set the "border of height" for buildings - about twenty-three and a half meters (eleven samentes). That is the height of the palace. One of the consequences of this decree was: with any of the roofs of the old (central) part of the city today is visible almost all northern capital Russia.

Separately, you need to say a few words about the colorsistic range of the palace. During his long history, she changed several times. Today's appearance of the building, although it has already become familiar to citizens, does not correspond to the original design of the architect. Some modern art historians and architects speak out for the return of its initial colorful appearance.

Palace halls

Every Palace Hall is actually independent masterpiece (although the original interiors are almost preserved), he is worthy of attention in itself and at the same time enhances overall impression splendor. Tell some of these halls:

- Avanzal It was created at the end of the XVIII century. During balls, it was used as a parade bofofite: here the cavaliers and ladies drank champagne. Pay attention to the ceiling: This is a work of the Italian master; It refers to the small amount of decor elements that miraculously survived during a three-day fire.

-Nicolaevsky Hall (It is also called great) was also created at the end of the XVIII century. In the old days he was lit by lanterns made of blue glass. Blue rays fell on color marble, decorating columns and walls, and created an amazing, unforgettable effect. Hall area - more than a thousand square meters. If we talk about sizes, then this is the most impressive hall of the palace. In the pre-revolutionary time, banquets and balls were held here (in addition, the hospital was opened in the building). Currently, temporary exhibitions are held in the hall.

- Concert hall decorated with sculptures of ancient Greek goddesses and music. Here you can also see a magnificent collection of vintage Russian silver.

Another pearl of the palace - Malachite living room. More than one hundred twenty pounds of Malachite was spent on her finish. The room was finished with a green stone after a fire; Before that, it was called Yashmova, and her finish corresponded to the name.

Where did the tradition of divide the houses of the monarch of the monarch of the monarch for winter and summer? The roots of this phenomenon can be found in the days of the Moscow kingdom. It was then that the kings first began to leave the Kremlin walls for the summer and go to breathe air into Izmailovo or Kolomenskoye. This tradition Peter I moved to the new capital. The Winter Palace of the Emperor stood on the place where modern buildingand the summer palace can be found in Summer garden. It was built under the leadership of Trezini and is, in fact, a small two-storey house in 14 rooms.

From the house to the palace

The history of the creation of the Winter Palace is not a secret for anyone: Empress Elizabeth Petrovna, a big luxury luxury, in 1752 ordered the architect of Rastrelli to undertake for himself beautiful palace in Russia. But it was built not on an empty spot: before that, in the territory where the Hermitage Theater is now, there was a small Winter Palace of Peter I. The Wooden Palace of Anna John, which was built under the leadership of Trezini, stood on a shift. But the building was not luxurious enough, so the Empress who returned to St. Petersburg the status of the capital chose a new architect - Rastrelli. It was a raster-senior, father of the famous Francesco Bartholomeo. Almost 20 years new palace He became a residence of the imperial family. And then the same winter appeared, which we know today is the fourth in a row.

The highest building of St. Petersburg

When Elizabeth Petrovna wished to build a new palace, an architect for savings planned to use the previous building for the base. But the Empress demanded to increase the height of the palace from 14 to 22 two meters. Rastrelli reworked the project of the building several times, and I did not want to transfer the place of construction of Elizabeth, so the architect had to just demolish the old palace and there was a new one in his place. Only in 1754, the Empress approved the project.

Interestingly, a long time the Winter Palace remained the highest building in St. Petersburg. In 1762, a decree was even released, which forbidden to build in the capital of the building above the Imperial Residence. Due to this, the decree of the company "Zinger" at the beginning of the 20th century had to abandon his idea to build a skyscraper for himself on Nevsky Avenue, as in New York. As a result, a tower was built over six floors with an attic and decorated it with a globe that creates the impression of altitude.

Elizabethan Baroque

The palace is built in the style of the so-called Elizabethan baroque. It is a quadrangle with a large courtyard. The building is decorated with columns, platbands, and the roof balustrade is tens of luxurious vases and statues. But the building was repeated several times, the quarters, Monferran, Rossi worked on the inner decoration at the end of the XVIII century, and after the notorious fire of 1837 - Stasas and Brooklov, so that the elements of Baroque were not survived everywhere. Details of the lush style remained in the interior of the famous parade of Jordan staircase. She received his name from Jordanian travel, who was nearby. Through him, the Emperor family and the highest clergy went to the hole in the Neva. Such a ceremony was traditionally called "a move on Jordan." Baroque details are also preserved in the decoration of the big church. But the church was ruined, and now its appointment resembles only a big Font Basso Floof, depicting the resurrection of Christ.

In 1762, Ekaterina II climbed on the throne, which did not like the pompous style of Rastrelli. The architect was resigned, and new masters began to decorate the interiors. They destroyed the throne hall and erected a new Nevsky Enfilad. Under the leadership of Kvrenigi, Georgievsky, or a large throne hall. For him had to make a small extension to the eastern facade of the palace. At the end of the XIX century, the Red BooR, the Golden Living Room and the Library of Nicholas II appeared.

Heavy days revolution

In the first days of the revolution of 1917, a huge number of treasures of the Winter Palace kidnapped sailors and workers. Only a few days later the Soviet government guessed to take a building under protection. A year later, the palace was given under the Revolution Museum, so part of the interiors rebuilt. For example, the Romanov Gallery was destroyed, where the portraits of all emperors and members of their families were located, and in the Nikolaev room, and they began to show movies. In 1922, the part of the building was departed by the Hermitage, and only by the 1946th, the entire winter palace entered the Museum.

During the Great Patriotic War, the building of the palace suffered from airplanes and art robes. With the beginning of the war, most of the exhibits exhibited in the winter were sent for storage in the Ipatiev Mansion, the one where the family of Emperor Nicholas II was shot. About 2000 people lived in Hermitage bomb shelters. They struggled to keep the exhibits remaining in the walls of the palace. Sometimes they had to catch porcelain and chandeliers floating in flooded basements.

Fluffy guards

Not only the water threatened to spoil art objects, but also voracious rats. For the first time, the pretty army for the Winter Palace was sent from Kazan in 1745. Catherine II cats did not love, but she left striped defenders at the court in the status of "guards of art galleries". In the time of blockade, all cats in the city died, because of which the rats were broken and began to spoil the interiors of the palace. After the war, the Hermitage brought 5 thousand cats, which quickly dealt with the tailed pests.


The magnificent palace building in, surpassed all palaces and estates not only with their scale, but also the luxury of the finish. The construction of the Winter Palace began in 1754, and finished in 1762. The author of the project was the well-known architect that time V. F. Rastrelli. The famous architect created a not a simple residence for the kings, but the palace "for the United Glory of the Russian."

Currently, the palace is the main exposition of the museum "".

The palace has the appearance of a huge quadrilateral, with the courtyard of the same giant sizes. Despite the colossal dimensions, the palace does not look monotonous and boring. The architect came up with many techniques for the arrangement of columns, barking borders, the installation of statues and beautiful VAZ, thereby enhancing the impression of puffs and elegacity.

This building of the Winter Palace, the 5th in a row, was built for Elizabeth Petrovna, and before the revolution itself was the main residence of Russian emperors.

Amazing the imagination internal decoration of halls decorated with gilding, numerous mirrors, abundance of decorative details. From the inner halls, that Barochny Maneru was saved, in which Rastrelli worked, only the Jordan staircase and partly the court cathedral. In the royal, decorated Jordanian staircase distinguishes the extraordinary generosity and the puff of the decor. Here are also columns, statues, and fancy gilded stucco, and a huge cemetery created by the masters of Italy. The first floor was adapted for service and economic premises. On the 2nd floor there were quarters of the members of the Imperial Family. On the top floor there were rooms for court people.

In 1762, Rastrelli was dismissed due to the reasance of his creative style of Catherine II, which just climbed the throne. Architects A. Rinaldi, Y. Felten, J. Wallen-Demotam, making significant changes to the decor of the Winter Palace. In December 1837, the interiors created by the great masters of Rossi, Kvrengy, Montferran burned down in a strong fire. To the Great Joy, almost all valuable property of the palace managed to save from the fire.

During the revolution, the building of the palace occupied the temporary government. During the war, the Winter Palace caused serious damage. His restoration, stretched for decades, demanded incredible efforts.
