EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "View of Menshikovs Palace on Vasilievsky Island, 1717" takes us back to the grandeur of early 18th-century Russia. The print showcases the architectural masterpiece that was once the residence of Saint Petersburg Governor General Alexander Menshikov. The palace, located on Vasilievsky Island in St. Petersburg, stands as a testament to the Petrine Baroque style with its intricate facade and neoclassical elements. Built by Italian architects Giovanni Maria Fontana and later German architect Gottfried Johann Schädel, this opulent structure opened its doors in 1711 but underwent continuous construction until 1727. As we gaze upon this panoramic view captured by artist Alexei Fyodorovich Zubov, we are transported to a time when Russian architecture flourished under the guidance of talented craftsmen like Domenico Trezzini, Bartolomeo Rastrelli, Georg Johann Mattarnovy, and Jean-Baptiste Le Blond. The image allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of Menshikovs Palace but also its strategic location along the Neva River in St. Petersburg. It offers a glimpse into the vibrant cityscape that is Saint Petersburg. Displayed at the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg today, this historical etching serves as a reminder of Russia's rich cultural heritage and architectural prowess during Peter I's reign.
