36. Painting and architecture 1700-1725

In the field of fine arts in the first quarter of the XVIII century. active development receives secular painting. An outstanding portrait painter of this time was A.

M. Matveev (1701-1739). Among the engraving masters I. Adolsky was famous. The works of artists A.F. Zubov, A.I. Rostovtsev and P. Picard brought to us the architectural appearance of both Russian capitals.

From the end of the XNUMXth century Russian pictorial art is being transformed. In the art of icon painting, a tendency began to appear for a transition to a realistic depiction of the world and people. The so-called parsuna genre is developing - a realistic portrait created in a traditional planar manner. The artists of this genre were influenced by Western European painting.

Architecture in the time of Peter the Great also experienced Western European influence. A new phenomenon in Russian culture was the spread of sculptural compositions, which was especially pronounced in the creation of palace and park ensembles, for example, in the design of the Grand Cascade of the Peterhof Palace (architect J. B. Leblon).

A fundamentally new architecture also appeared, based on the order system (columns, porticos, pediments, etc.). The interiors of church churches began to be decorated with multi-tiered wooden iconostases with intricate decorative carvings. One of the brilliant masters of carving was the architect I.P. Zarudny. Fundamentally new architecture created the basis of the capital of Russia at that time - St. Petersburg. Here, from the very beginning, the North German (Dutch) version of Baroque with a restrained, dryish decor, with a desire for maximum rationality, was developed. The bearer of this trend was D. Trezzini. He took an active part in the planning of St. Petersburg, in particular its Vasilievskaya part. The Swiss D. Trezzini designed the most important buildings in St. Petersburg - the Peter and Paul Fortress and its cathedral, the building of the Twelve Colleges (built on Vasilievsky Island in 1722-1734, completed by M. G. Zemtsov).

The palace of A. D. Menshikov, whose main facade faces the Neva, has long been the most luxurious private house in the northern capital.

A little higher along the Neva River was the Summer Palace (1710-1714), architects D. Trezzini and A. Schlüter. Peter I was especially proud of the Summer Garden that surrounded this building.

Peter's transformations in the sphere of culture, life and customs were of a pronounced political nature. They were supposed to emphasize the fundamental difference between the Russian Empire, created in a quarter of a century, and a great state of the European type.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Green Revolution in the Oceans: Phytoplankton Rise 24.07.2023

Over the past two decades, scientists from the US and the UK, analyzing satellite images, have found that the world's oceans are increasingly colored in green hues.

The reason for this phenomenon was the rapid increase in the phytoplankton population. These microscopic organisms, including algae, use the green pigment chlorophyll to carry out photosynthesis. Because of this, the more phytoplankton, the greener their natural habitat becomes.

This rapid increase in phytoplankton abundance has already had serious short-term consequences. They lead to oxygen deficiency in the environment, causing the formation of hypoxic dead zones where animals cannot survive.

However, the long-term effects of algae growth on the ocean ecosystem remain to be explored.

Since phytoplankton absorb carbon, its presence can be beneficial. However, further research is needed to exploit this potential.

Algae can make significant changes to their habitat, including changes in temperature, nutrient availability, and light levels in the water. They are also the backbone of the food chain in marine ecosystems. The increase in phytoplankton abundance is likely to lead to extensive and significant changes in the oceans.
