St. Petersburg: Kriga, 2007. Sewn cl. The architects, gardeners, sculptors and woodcarvers, painters, restorers, engravers, and medal designers that came from Germany to work in Russia brought to their Russian patrons and conveyed to their students the techniques of Western European art, the styles current in the West. German collectors gave an impulse to collecting in Russia, especially when they sold collections as a whole which they had carefully built over the years. The author sketches the work of over eighty Germans who made an impact on Russian culture in the eighteenth century. 496 pp., 6 x 9 ins., 92 b-&-w illus., sewn cl., Rus. Item #890
