De Nicolas Pineau à Cindy Sherman » explore les évolutions de ce style, de son émergence au début du XVIIIe siècle jusqu'à ses résurgences dans le design et la mode contemporaine, en passant par l'Art nouveau et l'art psychédélique. Près de 200 dessins, mobilier, boiseries, objets d'art, luminaires, céramiques, et pièces de mode dialoguent dans un jeu de courbes et de contre courbes. Nicolas Pineau et Juste Aurèle Meissonnier côtoient Louis Majorelle, Jean Royère, Alessandro Mendini, Mathieu Lehanneur, mais aussi les créateurs de mode Tan Giudicelli et Vivienne Westwood, et l'artiste Cindy Sherman. Le commissariat est assuré par Bénédicte Gady, directrice des musées par intérim, Turner Edwards, doctorant, et François Gilles, doctorant et sculpteur.Cette exposition célèbre la restauration d'un fonds unique au monde de près de 500 dessins issus de l'atelier du sculpteur Nicolas Pineau (1684-1754), l'un des plus importants propagateurs du style rocaille, que l'Europe adopte sous le nom de rococo. Adepte d'une asymétrie mesurée et d'un subtil jeu de pleins et de vides, Nicolas Pineau s'illustre dans des domaines variés : boiserie, sculptures ornementales, architecture, estampe, mobilier ou orfèvrerie. La présentation de cette figure majeure du rococo se prolonge dans un atelier qui plonge le visiteur au coeur de la fabrique d'une boiserie rocaille. Asymétries, sinuosités, rêves de Chine et imaginaires animaliers illustrent les infinies variations du style rococo. Enfin, du XIXe au XXIe siècle, cette esthétique trouve de nombreux échos, du néo-style aux détournements les plus inattendus et ludiques.Figure du rococo. Nicolas Pineau, entre Paris et Saint-PétersbourgD'abord connu pour son œuvre gravée, Nicolas Pineau est appelé en 1716 en Russie, où il devient premier sculpteur puis premier architecte de Pierre le Grand. Pour le tsar, il dessine de nombreux projets de décors, jardins, monuments et édifices, participant activement aux grands chantiers qui transforment Saint Pétersbourg en capitale d'un nouvel empire et Peterhof en une nouvelle Versailles. De retour à Paris en 1728, Pineau souhaite poursuivre sa carrière d'architecte, mais c'est en tant que sculpteur qu'il excelle et se distingue auprès de ses contemporains. Il travaille principalement pour la noblesse parisienne et pour Louis XV, tout en continuant à envoyer ses modèles en Allemagne et en Russie, et en maintenant une activité éditoriale. Essentiellement constituée de sculptures de façades et de boiseries, son oeuvre est en grande partie détruite avec l'avènement du néo-classicisme. Toutefois, des vestiges subsistent encore aujourd'hui dans les rues du vieux Paris, témoignant de l'élégance de son art.[...] Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

St. Petersburg in my eyes is the most spectacular city on our planet. The Winter Palace, the Hermitage, Catherine Palace, and Peterhof in St. Petersburg define imperial affluence. If I were to see only one city in the entire world, it would be St. Petersburg. Venice of the North. With their magnificent museums and palaces, large and lush gardens, Paris, London, Rome, and Madrid have been the most popular destinations for discerning tourists. And then there are other great European cities like Venice, Milan, Lisbon, Barcelona, Berlin, Budapest, Prague, and Vienna, most with meticulously planned public spaces, some with delightful waterfronts and aesthetic bridges, and almost all with towering churches, spacious plazas, and famous statues and monuments that are architectural masterpieces. Major parts of these beautiful cities have grown organically over centuries. Now imagine a brand-new city planned and developed from scratch and combining some of the best features of the famous older European cities. That was the dream of Tsar Peter the Great. He wanted the best of European art and architecture in one place, his place. So 300 years ago, in the year 1703, he specially commissioned some of the greatest architects of Europe to build for him the city of his dreams. They did exactly what he had in mind and thus was born St. Petersburg. It is simply unmatched in its beauty. If you have been here before, you would want to come back again and again. St. Petersburg is the nation's cultural capital, rich and diverse in its offerings. It has an astounding number of public facilities—221 museums, 2,000 libraries, more than 80 theaters, and 100 concert organizations. It is home to the Hermitage, one of the greatest art museums in the world, on par with the celebrated Louvre in Paris. Also located here is the world-famous Kirov Dance Company (now Mariinsky), the greatest center of music and ballet and historically, home of brilliant dancers like Rudolf Nureyev, Natalia Makarova, and Mikhail Baryshnikov who are admired throughout the world. Among the innumerable tourist attractions here, the biggest appeal is for the former imperial residences like Peterhof with its majestic fountain cascades and paradise-like parks, and Tsarskoe Selo which has the impeccable Catherine Palace of stunning baroque design.

In unserer zweiten Folge geht's nach #St.Petersburg, mit einem kleinen Zwischenstopp in #Helsinki. Denn wer über Helsinki mit der Fähre einreist darf 72 Stunden ohne Visum in Russland sein. Also haben wir erst einen schönen Tag in Helsinki verbracht, mit Fischbrötchen und einem Bummel über die Esplanaden um dann mit Sushi und Champagner auf der Fähre nach St. Petersburg überzusetzen. Angekommen in der Stadt der Zaren waren wir erschlagen von dem Prunk. Wunderschöne Gebäude, herrschaftliche Paläste und Gold so weit das Auge reicht, so hat uns St. Petersburg empfangen. Schnell war klar warum die Stadt auch das Venedig des Nordens genannt wird, denn auch hier lohnt es sich die Stadt vom Wasser aus zu erkunden. Warum die Metro sowohl für ein absolutes Urlaubshighlight als auch für das “Fernwehwehchen” des Urlaubs gesorgt hat und warum man den Putztag am Peterhof kennen sollte, hört ihr in der aktuellen Folge. St. Petersburg du hast so viel zu bieten! Wir sind aus dem Staunen gar nicht mehr rausgekommen und fragen uns heute noch “Wer um Himmelswillen hat diese ganzen Mosaiksteinchen gesetzt?”. ST. Petersburg – du bist auf jeden Fall eine Reise wert.

Hola amigos de El Viajero Accidental en Radio Viajera. Hoy vamos a volver a la gran ciudad imperial rusa. En este segundo episodio en san Petersburgo vamos a visitar sitios muy destacados de esta apasionante ciudad: el Hermitage, el palacio Peterhof. De nuevo de la mano de guías locales, esta vez vamos a recorrer la grandeza de un imperio. Vamos a tener con nosotros en este episodio más Turistas con Puñetas con José Juan Picos Freire y en concreto nada menos que Lord Byron. Es un plato fuerte que nos trae quien nos ayuda a aprender algo nuevo cada semana.

Just as splendid as Peterhof, the Catherine Palace is St Petersburg's other dazzling summer residence, built as a surprise for Peter the Great by his wife Catherine on land he had gifted to her. This episode tells the story of the two great empresses who made it their own, starting with Elizabeth, daughter of Peter and Catherine and moving on to her niece-in-law, another Catherine, who succeeded to the Russian throne after the timely, not to say highly convenient, sudden death of her husband Peter III. She ruled for over thirty years as Catherine the Great. Learn something of the lives both empresses lived in the Catherine Palace, and then hear a few pointers on what to look out for on a visit. http://www.citybreakspodcast.co.uk

Peter the Great's legacy is, of course, the whole of the city of St Petersburg. But this episode focuses on some of the buildings most closely associated with him, such as the Peter and Paul Fortress, begun as a citadel, and later the site of the city's most feared prison. Also within the walls is the beautiful Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul, whose foundation stone was laid by Peter himself and whose interior is the final resting place for him and almost all his direct Romanov descendants. Finally, hear about Peter's grandiose summer residence, the Peterhof Palace, designed by him to dazzle and delight and still doing both today. http://www.citybreakspodcast.co.uk

The Amateur Traveler talks to Francis Tapon about European Russia west of the Ural Mountains. Most people only know 2 cities in Russia – Moscow and St Petersburg. In St Petersburg he recommends the Hermitage and the Peterhof. Moscow is so central culturally to Russia that the trains all run on Moscow time across the 9 timezones of Russia. Francis extends the suggested itinerary to include Kazan and Kaliningrad. Kazan is the capital of Tatarstan which is a mostly Muslim area of Russia. Kazan is over 1000 years old. Kazan is right by the Volga river with a large mosque and classic cathedral. Kaliningrad is a Russian exclave in what used to be East Prussia.
