Georg Khristof Groot i elizavetinskoe vremia (Georg Groot and the age of Empress Elizabeth)

St. Petersburg: Rus muz, 2016. Sewn cl. An exceptional catalogue for its varied themes: six chapters focus on the way the German artist typified and contributed to the introduction of Western European aesthetic standards to Russia. Like Louis Caravaque he flourished with Russian commissions, and his Russian patrons took him into Russian service on generous terms. Converting currencies, Groot received about 3000 guldens a year, ten times what his father received as a court painter in Wurttemberg. Ostensibly a monograph on one artist, the main theme is the process of westernizing the Russian imperial court begun by Peter the Great and continued by his daughter Elizabeth. Approximately two thirds of the works are paintings, and the rest porcelain, glass, furniture, and metalwork. Groot's portraits are valuable as visual sources on eighteenth-century court. 132 p., 22 x 24 cm, approx. 100 color illus., Rus. Item #2290
