Einblick in die Transferwege der Alhambra-Architektur nach Russland
Russische Architekten haben die ibero-islamische Architektur, insbesondere die Nasridenpaläste der Alhambra in Granada, intensiv erforscht und dabei wesentliche Aspekte der russischen Kulturgeschichte und der europäischen Orient-Vorstellungen des 9. Jahrhunderts berücksichtigt. Ihre Beiträge zum Maurischen Revival wurden von der Kaiserlichen Akademie der Künste unterstützt.

Russian architects have been heavily influenced by Ibero-Islamic architecture, particularly the Nasriden palaces of the Alhambra in Granada. A comprehensive study of this influence has been conducted, focusing on the orientalisierende Bauwerke und Interieurs des 9. Jahrhunderts in St. Petersburg. The study traces the transfer of architectural styles from Spain to Russia, highlighting the role of the Russian Academy of Arts in this process. It also demonstrates the significance of Russian cultural history and European Orient-Vorstellungen in the development of the Maurischen Revivals. This study provides a unique perspective on the orientalisierende Architektur St. Petersburgs within the broader European context. Russian architects played a pivotal role in shaping this architectural style and its subsequent influence on the world.
