Neo-Baroque.
Neo-baroque is one of the neo-styles that developed in 19th century European art during the period of historicism. Has several different regional variations. In St. Petersburg, the most European city of the Russian Empire, the period of historicism of artistic thinking and neo-styles of the 19th century began to reproduce or, as they said at that time, "renewal in their previous form" of the monuments of the "Peter′s Baroque" period and buildings "in the taste of Count Bartholomew Rastrelli" ... These samples are not baroque architecture in the classical sense, but a special fusion of the Renaissance, Baroque and Mannerist architecture of the Nordic countries, and in Elizabethan time - a bizarre combination of elements of classicism, baroque and French rococo. Neo-baroque features are evident in the interior of St. Isaac′s Cathedral in St. Petersburg (O. Montferrand, 1818-1858), in the Mariinsky Palace, built in the neo-Renaissance style by A.I. Stackenschneider (1839-1844) and in the most important work of the "second baroque": the Beloselsky-Belozersky palace (1846-1848) on the Nevsky Prospect of the Russian capital. In the facades of the Beloselsky-Belozersky palace, the architect Stakenschneider followed the general composition of the Stroganov palace, erected by F.B. Rastrelli was also on Nevsky Prospekt a century earlier. However, Stackenschneider′s powerful plasticity of Rastrelli′s decor turned into refined, but petty "dry" ornamentation, which was positively evaluated by the critics of that time as an improvement in style. Graphic rigidity, refinement and fragmentation, as a rule, distinguish any neo-style from its historical prototype. Such are also many other neo-baroque monuments in St. Petersburg of the middle and second half of the 19th century.
