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" ...

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. ... Read More
