Abstract

The author of the article examines Ivan Korobov’s and Ivan Michurin’s architectural works made for the coronation events on the occasion of the Empress Elizaveta Petrovna’s enthronement. He analyses the design of the triumphal gate in Moscow, created by the architects in 1742, in the context of European architecture of 17th — first third of the 18th century. The author makes an attempt to link the features of these designs with the architecture of the similar European constructions and the architects’ personal experience in acquaintance with the architecture of Netherlands, especially Flemish Baroque, which became known to them during their training there in 1710s–1720s. Close attention is also paid to the urban context of the Triumphal arches in Russia and Europe. The key point of the article is that the architecture of the Moscow Triumphal gate may be considered as one of the important components in formation of Russian architecture of the 1730s–1760s, within the period prior to the prime of the Baroque style, especially of Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli’s version.
