Antonio Rinaldi

Creativity
Antonio Rinaldi not fully studied, though with his works in associated with a number
important problems of formation of classicism. For information about the life of the architect is very sparse:
even the date of his birth and death is not exactly clear.

can
only say that Antonio Rinaldi was born about 1709 in Italy. Likely
total, Antonio belonged to a fairly respectable noble family. His place
birth is unknown, but it can be assumed that he was a native of the south,
because his teacher L. Vanvitelli, who worked in Naples, took students from
nearby places. That Naples played a significant role in the development Rinaldi
as an architect.
He


was a pupil of Luigi Vanvitelli - one of the leading masters of the late
Italian Baroque and Classicism immediate predecessors.

For
Baroque monuments, designed for severe emotional impact, were
characterized by the dynamics and tension, decorative and picturesque, as well as
large curved shape. Generously applied sculpture and painting, altering and
complementing the architecture, it is illusory deformed, have contributed to greater
richness and splendor of decoration.
However


Italian architecture of the first half of XVIII century was a later
Baroque. For him, are characteristic of classic tendencies --
appeal to the ancient architecture in search of more sedate and
severe forms.

One
the largest yard facilities in Europe - Castle Caserta (1752), near Naples,
created by the architect Vanvitelli for the King of Naples and the characteristic
of form and features of Baroque classicism, was built with the participation of Antonio
Rinaldi - pupil, and, perhaps, assistant architect. This structure included in
history of architecture as one of the outstanding works of the late Italian
Baroque. Rinaldi has worked with Vanvitelli, and, at his request, at
initial design phase of the ensemble in Caserta. This suggests that Vanvitelli
already highly valued Rinaldi and found he had a full understanding of their
designs.

Antonio
with other students participated in many buildings Vanvitelli - in this
was a method of teaching the master. Already formed an architect in 1740-1745
Rinaldi years led to the construction of the cathedral of Pesaro for the monastery of St.
Magdalena, designed Vanvitelli. Rinaldi and participated in the construction
Monastery of St. Augustine in Rome.

In
Rinaldi was invited to in 1751. The middle of the XVIII century in the n
architecture marked the names of the founders of n baroque - Rastrelli
Ukhtomskii, Chevakinsky. New architectural principles were comprehensively
development in the works Bazhenov, Starova, Kazakova. The widespread
further deepening of their observed in the last thirty years in the XVIII century
buildings Quarenghi, Cameron, Sokolova and other architects of the period of strict
classicism.
So


way, Rinaldi has already arrived in the shape the world of n classicism. He
keenly felt the mood in . We have every reason to call this
alien n architect.

Rinaldi
became one of the first representatives of a new wave of Italian architects, who in
second half of the 18 th century, found in his creative home. About
conditions put forward by Rinaldi, you can see from the letter of Count M. Vorontsov
Count Velke sent in January 1751. From the context of the letter shows
that Velke Rinaldi described as "a skilled architect, decent
enter the service of the hetman of Little AK Razumovsky, brother of the almighty
Elizabeth's favorite. The contract consisted of six items. He defined
lifetime - seven years, the duty Rinaldi teach n students
architecture, an annual salary of twelve hundred rubles, for travel to and
home in case of return. According to the second paragraph of the contract, Rinaldi took
a commitment to go to Ukraine "... to carry out buildings
that he will be assigned. Vorontsov Rinaldi asked to convey that "... it
can hope for a special grace Hetman, as it will last
evidence of his art and his good conduct ?.

Up
his departure for Rinaldi was in England. The architect came to Baturin
in 1752 for the honorable and responsible work: he was supposed to create a new
capital of the vast and rich land. Here the architect were to build
residence for the ruler of Ukraine. Simultaneously with the construction of residences in
Baturin Rinaldi designs stone palace in Razumovsky Glukhov.

Creativity
Rinaldi belongs to the period of strict classicism. Rinaldi was one of those
n architects, whose work marked a shift from the Baroque to the
the classic direction. Beside him walked Kokorinov, de la Mothe, Felten,
Lvov and others.

Raised
the best samples of Italian architecture, Rinaldi before coming to in
perfectly mastered the art of architecture. Forty years of work in
turned him from visiting foreign artists in the artist, not only subtly
sense of national identity of n architecture, but also creates its
masterpieces.

On
Rinaldi could not but influence n culture, n masters
art, who worked in St. Petersburg, the monuments of ancient
architecture and the very architecture of the young n capital, combining the principles of
regular (straight lay) with a living sense of nature and with
characteristic of n architects of freedom and power of grandiose space
tracks.

Rinaldi
contributed greatly to the development of n architecture. Ease of entering the architect in
n architecture and its success was not accidental, because for n
Baroque, in contrast to Europe, with its complex spatial
compositions are characterized by high beat the simplicity and clarity of solutions.
Therefore


the transition from baroque to classicism in n architecture is not accounted
overcome alien classicism complex and broken tracks.

Rinaldi
found fertile ground in for work. If he often preferred
more complex spatial layout interiors than Rastrelli, then this
manifested the peculiarity of taste and talent Rinaldi.
He


was already forty-three years, when the hetman of Little Razumovsky invited
it in his possession, intending to create an administrative center getmanstva --
City Baturin.

This
grandiose plan was not implemented. Three years later, built for
Razumovsky only one palace, Rinaldi in 1754 sent to St. Petersburg.

In
the first decade of residence in St. Petersburg Rinaldi his creative interests
focused on the construction of Oranienbaum Palace of Peter III, the Opera House and
His own ensemble to give his main buildings - the Chinese Palace and
Sliding Hill.

Next
decade - the most intense period of creative activity
architect. During these years he also has three major construction:
Marble Palace and St. Isaac's Cathedral in St. Petersburg and the palace and park ensemble
Gatchina.

In
1770's Rinaldi works primarily in Tsarskoe Selo, where his projects
creates a "suite" of memorial buildings dedicated to the glorification of military
feats of the n army and navy.

This
last stage of his work. I can say: it reveals to us Rinaldi
as an architect, fully imbued with the spirit of , akin to her life and
historical aspiration.

In
Tsarskoe Selo Rinaldi creates a "suite" of park facilities in the so-called spirit
"Chinoiserie". And Rinaldi conceptualize "kitayschinu" not only in nature,
characteristic of all European art, but also brings to it a certain
specificity, colored the perception of n culture of the East.

In
transitional periods, like the early Classical era, the true talents
creating works of exceptional artistic value. This artist
was undoubtedly Rinaldi. It departs from the basic principles of the Baroque, but,
paving the way for strict classicism, still closely linked to the previous
architectural era.

In
artist's work can not be evolution. Was it from Rinaldi.

All
Rinaldi works peculiar features of transitional style. They adjoin
elements of the outgoing Baroque and nascent Neoclassicism.

For
Rinaldi structures characteristic love to rounded lines, the desire to
relaxation of the strict architectural forms, which gave them a special scenic.

Y
Rinaldi were characteristic features. For example, it is typical for ornamentation
Rinaldo detail, so-called "flower Rinaldi" of a particular way
intertwined stems of lilies and ears. But Rinaldi, using it, never
not repeated, and introduces new features.

it right
assume that the monumental constructions Rinaldi (monuments, palaces),
made in natural stone, more marked features
classicism than his chamber construction. Sophistication and complexity
composite solutions, characteristic of the Baroque, characterized mainly by its
park pavilions and small palaces.
Usually


Rinaldi characterized primarily, and sometimes only as a master of internal
attire. But the analysis of works of the architect says about him as a major,
peculiar and multifaceted architect.

This
Architect rightfully takes pride of place in the gallery n architects. Thinly
feel about n atmosphere, Rinaldi imbued with it, and created excellent
works of art that entered the golden fund of world culture.

Rinaldi
easily entered into the n architectural tradition, as for the n Baroque
were characterized by great simplicity and clarity of composite solutions that
facilitate the transition to classicism.

In
this direction Rinaldi could not be more seamlessly into the n
culture and left to posterity many splendid monuments.
His


creative search for Rinaldi, along with other architects of his contemporary
elaborated the principles of a new architectural style - classicism, reflecting
both tendencies baroque, classical aesthetics melted into a new
architectural system in new compositional techniques and new decor
interiors.

Together
so Rinaldi remained master with a distinct personality. His
handwriting can be seen at once, easily recognized and read in the rinaldievskom canon of interpretation
warrant in peculiar to him the details. Is no accident in the literature
became an expression such as "flower Rinaldi." Great value creativity
Rinaldi-to-use synthesis of arts. It can be argued that he
belongs to the most prominent place among contemporary architects.
