Beautiful window!!!
Excellent perspective details and mood, congrats!
интересное наблюдение
Да, это Питер, окно – Нового Пассажа, построенного архитектурной фирмой Николая Васильева в 1911 году. Мало признанный даже в самом Питере, но один из самый интересный образцов модерна в Северной Европе, граничащий с модернизмом.
Витражи в окнах были разбиты ещё в соведеповские времена (во время очередного ремонта, говорят, в 1960-х годах). Здание с колоннами – Мариинская больница для бедных, построенное в 1805, в совковые времена больница им. Куйбышева (?) и сейчас снова Мариинская больница.
The window belongs to Novy Passage (le Passage Nouveau) or the New Arcade in English on Liteiny Prospekt in St. Petersburg. It is a fantastic 1911 art nouveau structure, which I think is almost as important as the Wiener Sezession building in Vienna (and infinitely less known). The building, which I would even classify as protomodernist in its form, was designed by Nikolai Vasiliev (Vassilieff) and Alexei Bubyr, two important Art Nouveau architects. After Communist takeover Nikolai Vasiliev managed to flee Russia and later settled in the US where he worked on several Art Deco hotels and train stations in America and Canada. Stained glass is gone although fragments on the sides of the frame are original pre-WWI stuff. The neoclassical building with the colonnade seen through the window (is the St. Mary’s Hospital for the Poor, designed by Giacomo Quarenghi and completed in 1805.
Thanks everyone.
Very nice composition.
Congrats.
