| Description |
Tsarskoe Selo. Saint. Petersburg. <a href="http://www.alexanderpalace.org/palace/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.alexanderpalace.org/palace/</a>
It was commissioned by Catherine the Great for her favorite grandson, Grand Duke Alexander Pavlovich, the future emperor Alexander I of Russia on the occasion of his marriage to Grand Duchess Elizaveeta Alexeevna, born Princess Luise Marie Augusta of Baden. The Neoclassical edifice was planned by Giacomo Quarenghi and built between 1792 and 1796. It was agreed that the architect had excelled himself in creating a masterpiece.[1] In 1821, a quarter of a century later, the architect's son wrote:
“ An elegant building which looks over the beautiful new garden ... in Tsarskoe Selo, was designed and built by my father at the request of Catherine II, as a summer residence for the young Grand Duke Alexander, our present sovereign. In keeping with the august status of the person for whom the Palace was conceived, the architect shaped it with greatest simplicity, combining both functionality with beauty. Its dignified facade, harmonic proportions, and moderate ornamentation ... are also manifested in its interiors ..., without compromising comfort in striving for magnificence and elegance. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Palace" rel="noreferrer nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Palace</a> |
