| Title of the article | Classicism and elements of the empire style in the building of Nizhny Novgorod of the XIXth century |
| Abstract. | The article deals with the analysis of the classical style in the architecture of Nizhny Novgorod. The study is illustrated with the examples of the most outstanding constructions of the city. The author analyses the works of one of the most famous architects of Nizhny Novgorod Y. Ananyin, studies the semantics of the classical style, building of the forms, style forming factors. The author illustrates his work with the example of recreating the lost look of the Gostinyi dvor in the street Nizhny Posad. The author analyses residential and religious buildings of Nizhny Novgorod of the XIXth century designed by the architects A. Leer, D. Zhilyardi, G. Kisevetter, I. Yefimov, A. Betankur. The author pays special attention to the provincial interpretation of the classical style, influence of ancient Russian traditions. To these refer a smaller scale, less stringent rules in following the order rules, liberty in using «model projects», plasticity. Classical methods were interpreted individually and creatively due to the skills of the builders (who were often common serfs), and also due to the local landscape and local artistic traditions. In this connection the author insists on the existence in the province of a special aesthetic programme. Not all model patterns typical of the architecture in the capital were spread on the provincial soil. The author concludes that the examples of the provincial classicism developed by different architects give the opportunity to conceive the character and scale of the building of that time. |
