In the architecture and history of the many concepts that, originating at a certain stage in a single value, over time, acquire other meanings and applications. Tradition of their use is characteristic of many eras, countries and peoples. In this article we will try to answer the question: "Belvedere."

Definition

What is Belvedere? This is a light architectural structure in the form of a turret on the hill. May occur as a separate building on the hill, and can be used as a decorative architectural element on the building. The concept comes from the Italian phrase "bello vedere", which literally means "beautiful to see". In Italian language there is the noun "il belvedere", but the exact translation of this word the Italian-Russian dictionaries do not give, and translated just as it sounds - "Belvedere". But in some Russian articles can be found it translated as "beautiful view". Thus, from whatever point of view we come to the meaning of the word, it appears that the meaning of this construction is the place a better view.

In addition to the direct use of the term, it is used as a proper name: the Belvedere is a garden and Playground on the hill. So may be called hotels, villas, cafes and restaurants. A July 7, 2017 in Moscow hosted the annual international festival of Opera singers named after Hans, GABA with the same name. In this regard, "Belvedere" is the name cultural events, and even cake design reminiscent of architectural counterpart.

In Western European architecture of the Belvedere appeared in the late XVII century in the architectural style of the Baroque, but over time, despite the displacement of one style with another, the Belvedere changed its appearance and became an integral part of the new architecture.

The Belvedere and the traditions of Russian architecture

In Russia these buildings appeared much earlier looked a little differently, but their essence because not was different. The type of gazebos can be attributed to such ancient buildings as the tower - tiered attic in the homes of wealthy boyars and merchants, tower loft over a porch in the form of a turret, and in defence of ancient architecture - "Firebolt" - turret on the roof of the castle tower, which housed the alarm bell or alarm. The architecture of the XVIII century and later the role of the Belvedere began to carry turrets and lights on the roof.

Belvedere's

Peterhof

The appearance of the Belvedere Palace in Peterhof is reminiscent of more ancient temple raised on a high stylobate surrounded by a slender colonnade of the ionic order, and an openwork grille on the second floor tier. The roof of the Belvedere has a simple gable form with triangular pediments on the end sides. The building has a delicate pink colour with white decor and reminiscent of a beautiful shell. Decor facilities laconic: pilasters on the first floor, they hide behind building corners, openwork lattice, rectangular panels above the Windows with images in the style of "grisaille", similar to the bas-reliefs. Trunks of columns of the second floor is made of gray marble. The front façade features a staircase with sculptures made of marble, and the portico, which is supported by caryatids merlequin. This image is used by Nicholas I not surprising, as the prototype of the pavilion was a temple on the Athenian Acropolis - the Erechtheion, the porticos of which also support the caryatids.
