 St. Petersburg 1900, Photo 24, The Winter Palace, a Petersburg Travelogue by Bob Atchison
Rastrelli was the son of an Italian sculptor who had brought his 16 year old boy with him when he moved to Russia do work for the Imperial Court.
Rastrelli argued that this new palace would be the rival of any building in Europe and would place Petersburg - on par as far as palaces were concerned - with royal residences in France and Germany.
Rastrelli's building is very ornate - and huge - the grand proportions of the building are embellished with columns, capitals, urns and statues.

 The State Hermitage Museum: Collection Highlights
This bronze bust of Peter I is perhaps the most perfect work of Rastrelli, an Italian who is often largely attributed with the birth of modern Russian sculpture.
It is rich in the devices typical of the Baroque style - the sharp turn of the head, an ermine mantle and an impression of hair tossed backward by a strong wind, a lace scart streaming in the wind - all contributing to a depiction of firmness, energy, character and power.
The bust was cast in 1723 and later chased and engraved by the engraver Semange under the careful observation of Bartolomeo Rastrelli himself.

 Rastrelli F. B.
During his life Rastrelli experienced both the delights of fame and the bitterness of oblivion.
A gifted artist and architect, Rastrelli not only developed the traditions of European baroque but combined them with the traditions of early Russian architecture with its belfries and porches, and an abundance of gold decor and floraflora motifs in interior ornamentation.
Such were his Summer Palace in St. Petersburg (which has not survived), the Winter Palace (also known as the Hermitage), the architectural ensemble at Tsarskoye Selo, the summer residence of Russian emperors, and the Vorontsov and Stroganov palaces among the many palaces of St. Petersburg's nobles.

The city cathedral was built between 1752 and 1778 in the splendid Baroque style and was decorated so sumptuously that many art historians attributed it to Bartolomeo Rastrelli.
Although Rastrelli's authorship is out of the question, the cathedral is indeed the most impressive monument of Elizabethan Baroque not to be commissioned by the imperial family or built in the imperial capital.
