| Popis: | The article discusses the formation of moulds and string cornices in the St. Petersburg architecture of the XVIII century. Significant distinctions of Russian architectural moulds in comparison with their analogues existent in classical orders of Western European architecture are revealed. The causes lying underneath of the regional transformation of architectural elements are analyzed. The examples of designing profiles in each individual style period of the XVIII century are provided. It has been found out that the whole first half of the XVIII century is characterized by seamless profiles without complex intercalated moulds, such as dentils, modillions, and consoles. The inherent features of the Elizabethan Baroque are unique moulds with an upper notch. The period of Early Classicism is characterized with the usage of both Baroque and classical moulds in the style of J. Vignola. Strict classicism was the period when architects used moulds in the style of A. Palladio and the usual practice was application of Greek moulds. On the basis of the analysis carried out in the research, characteristic features and dating elements of each stylistic period are determined, and the elements inherent for the unique style of architects who created their works during the specified period are described. |
