Andrei Ivanovich Shtakenshneider: arkhitekturnye proekty iz sobraniia Gosudarstvennogo muzeia istorii Sankt-Peterburga (Architectural Designs from the Collection of the State Museum of the History of St. Petersburg)
St. Petersburg: Muzei istorii Sankt-Peterburga, 2006. pb. These drawings and plans (1830s–1850s) by Emperor Nikolai I’s favorite architect reveal a talent for adapting historical styles in a new way. He could do with equal tact a smallish rural palace on the Gulf of Finland for Nikolai’s daughter and enormous residences for grand dukes that matched the opulence and design elegance of the imperial capital's eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century palaces. His reconstruction of the Winter Palace and Hermitage interiors shows a flare for beautiful interior detail in arches, doorways, windows, and fireplaces. 60 pp., 9 1/2 x 9 1/2 ins., 9 b-&-w illus., 41 color, Rus.
