Lecture by Professor Alexei Leporc on church architecture
On July 5, Pushkin House invites you to an online lecture by Russian art historian Professor Alexei Leporc dedicated to the influence of Ukrainian culture on the Russian architectural tradition of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. In the words of Professor Leporc, it was Ukraine that gave late 17th century Moscow its most precious necklace of magnificent churches. Following the Eternal Peace Treaty of 1686, which set out the division of Ukraine between Poland and Russia, Moscow was visibly influenced by the Ukrainian tradition and architecturally “Ukrainised” as Russia took greater political control over the country. Everything usually described as “Naryshkin Baroque” (for example the Fili and Troitse-Lykovo churches, and the Novodevichy convent ensemble) was a rather direct result of Lev Naryshkin’s (and many others’) fascination with splendid Ukrainian churches. Naryshkin was uncle and mentor to the future emperor Peter the Great, thus influencing cultural tastes for decades to come. “Naryshkin Baroque” is too often misinterpreted as being the first wave of Western European influence on Russian culture, when in fact it resulted from the impact of Ukraine’s already well-established architectural tradition.
70% of all the proceeds from this event will go to the Support for Ukrainian Cultural Workers Fund.
