Kuskovo estate was the country house of the Sheremetev family located just outside Moscow. Built in the mid-18th century, the estate is now part of Moscow and home to the Russian State Museum of Ceramics. The neoclassical palace was constructed between the 1730s-1790s and featured a six column portico and ramp for carriages. The formal gardens were designed in the French style with ornamental parterres, alleys, and statues. Various outbuildings like the Grotto pretending to be a sea palace, Dutch House, Italian House, and Orangerie hall were also built on the 300 hectare estate.
Chambord - A French Renaissance ChateauJerry Daperro
Along the river valley of Loire, south of Paris was a favourite region for the French nobility to build their chateaux. There are three royal chateaux in the valley - Chambord, Blois and Amboise. Leonardo da Vinci spent his final years here amongst these chateaux. Chenonceau chateau is one of the prettiest and had a female touch to it. If this is the case then it counterpart is Chambord, a the male chateau. It was built as a hunting lodge and many of its features were derived from traditional fortifications.
In 1515, the young Francis I of France came to the throne. It was under him France was united and strong. It was also the time French Absolute Monarchy began to appear. Chambord is very much his making. The emblems of Francis I were everywhere. It is also a French Renaissance building, incorporating Italian architecture elements like loggias, terrace, pilasters and horizontal mouldings decorating the facades. It is also French too with its massive towers, donjon and very high and steep roofs. Its roof it like a chessboard of towers and also like as a skyline of skyscrapers.
Today around the chateau is a large wildlife park with rich and varied wild life, a sanctuary for large animals. It is also an Unesco Heritage Site.

For most visitors, who went to the Palace of Versailles, the most common to feeling after the visit was that they were overwhelmed by the extravagance and the opulence of the palace. Apart from the Hall of Mirrors, most people could remember very little of individual rooms. I hope this slideshow would allow you to revisit the palace once again and make a little sense of what you saw.
The Palace of Versailles is the most well known example of European Palace. The palace is also a statement of the wealth and power of an absolute monarch. Since then the design of the palace had been copied all over the world.
It was constructed during the reign of Louis XIV, when the power of the absolute French monarch was at its zenith. Louis XIV saw the palace as a setting to propagate his own personality cult. It was here at Versailles, Louis XIV daily theatrical rituals were on show to nobility – routines like the king rises, the king retirement at night, even the queen giving birth to the royal babies are opened to the public eyes.
Today, the French is keen to shake off this symbol of absolute monarchy but to portrait the palace as achievements of French culture, of French taste and as a place where great international diplomacy is conducted. It was here the Treaty of Versailles was sign, putting an end to the First World War.

1. Почему Петербург называют «Северной Венецией»? Образец презентации ученика 9 класса. Авторы: Селезенев А., Ананьчева О. г.Саратов
2. Как мы работали над решением вопроса: Побывали в Санкт-Петербурге Осмотрели достопримечательности Изучили литературу об архитектуре и истории города
3. Наш план путешествия по Петербургу: 1. Мосты и каналы 2. Дворцы и памятники
4. Почти полтора века назад город располагался на 101 острова, но со временем, при прокладке улиц, реки и каналы засыпались, и сегодня в Петербурге насчитывается 42 острова. Эти острова, а также набережные рек и каналов соединяют многочисленные мосты, которые, как и водоёмы города, представляют одну из его достопримечательностей. Нева, её многочисленные притоки и каналы составляют органичное целое с архитектурой города, придают неповторимое своеобразие его облику. В пределах городской черты 86 рек, ручьёв, протоков, каналов, кроме того более 100 озёр и прудов. Поэтому, наверное, Петербург иногда называют Северной Венецией. При застройке города реки соединяли каналами, в результате образовались новые острова.
5. Исаакиевский собор Позади памятника Петру Первому возвышается одно из самых грандиозных сооружений Петербурга — Исаакиевский собор. Строительство собора продолжалось целых четыре десятилетия. Выстроенный, как тогда говорили, недобросовестно, он требовал постоянного ремонта и подновления. В народе сложилась легенда, что династия Романовых падёт, как только с собора снимут строительные леса. И действительно, строительство полностью завершилось к 1917 году, буквально накануне расстрела царской семьи Двух царствований памятник приличный: Низ мраморный, а верх кирпичный.
6. Выводы Побывав в этом чудесном городе, мы поняли, что Санкт-Петербург называют «Северной Венецией» не только из-за внешнего сходства их архитектурных памятников и ансамблей, но и из-за удивительной схожести атмосферы, царящей в этих всемирно известных городах. Питер, как и Венеция, расположен на огромном количестве каналов. И как по каналам Венеции плавают гондолы, так по каналам Петербурга путешествуют прогулочные катера с туристами и отдыхающими горожанами. Санкт-Петербург, набережная реки М

The iconography of 'Madonna and Child' and 'Venus and Cupid' in the most repr...PasqualeRaimo
Questo ciclo di lezioni in lingua inglese, prende il titolo “Un viaggio nell’arte tra l’amore sacro e profano”. In pratica viene messo a confronto il tema iconografico della Madonna con il Bambino e quello di Venere con Cupido attraverso le opere d’arte più rappresentative esposte in quattro tra i più rappresentativi musei d’Europa: The State Hermitage Museum di SanPietroburgo, il Victoria and Albert Museum di Londra, il Museo di Capodimonte di Napoli e il Museo del Prado di Madrid.
Prima di passare alla visione le singole opere d’arte, il progetto prevede un conciso cenno storico circa l’origine e la struttura dei suddetti musei. Le opere che saranno analizzate sono soprattutto dipinti, oscillanti cronologicamente tra l’XI e il XIX secolo, ma non mancherà la descrizione anche di oggetti d’arte di diversa tipologia (sculture, bronzi, arti applicate, etc.). Per ogni opera esaminata, prima della sua descrizione si procederà con una breve introduzione biografica dell’autore.

Kuskovo Estate (Moscow)
1.
2. Kuskovo, nicknamed the Moscow Versailles due to its formal French gardens, was the
summer country house and estate of the Sheremetev family. Built in the mid-18th
century, it was originally situated several miles to the east of Moscow but now is part of
the East District of the city. Today the estate is the home of the Russian State Museum
of Ceramics, and the park is a favourite place of recreation for Muscovites.
The Palace was constructed by Petr Borisovich Sheremetev (1713–1787). Construction
was carried out between the 1730s and the 1790s on a site of over three hundred
hectares. The earliest surviving structure is the Saviour church, on the site of the old
wooden church, built in 1737-39 in a Petrine baroque style and decorated with marble
statues. The neoclassical bell-tower was added later, in 1792.
The Palace was designed in the new neoclassical style, then becoming popular for state
buildings in St. Petersburg and Moscow. The exterior was made of wooden planks,
which were plastered and painted in soft pastel colors. The six-column portico at the
front of the house was designed with a ramp so that carriages with as many as eight
horses could come directly to the front door.
29. The Grotto
The Grotto was constructed between 1755 and 1761 by the architect F. Afgounov,
and was intended to represent the palace of the King of the Seas. It was placed next
to a large pond, which reflected its imposing facade and dome. Inside rows of niches
were filled with statues of Venus, Diana, Ceres, Flore, Juno and Jupiter.

32.
33. Dutch House
A traditional brick Dutch House
was constructed in the 1750s on
a small pond near the Palace.
The house has kitchen on the
ground floor decorated from
floor to ceiling with tiles from
Delft.
45. The Orangerie (1761–1764) was designed by F. Argounov. It was not used as
orangerie- the lemons, oranges and pineapples served the guests at Kuskovo
were actually grown in greenhouses outside the park. Rather, it was used as a
large banquet hall for guests. In the 1960s, it was turned into an exhibit hall
for the collections of porcelain. The museum in the Orangerie contains
collections of fine porcelain assembled by Russian merchants and Empress
Maria Fedorovna before the Russian Revolution.
53. The Park of Kuskovo was created between 1750 and 1780 as a formal Garden à
la française, with large ornamental parterres of flowers, carefully trimmed hedges,
and alleys which met at either right or diagonal angles, ornamented with statues,
and lined with either rows of trees trimmed into spheres, large vases, orange trees,
or myrtle trees trimmed into cones. Eight park alleys converge in a single point,
where the circular Hermitage pavilion (1764–77) now stands.
