This study, rich in material, analyses 19th-century Orientalising buildings and interiors in St. Petersburg and traces the routes by which the formal vocabulary of the Alhambra reached Russia from Spain. Incorporating essential aspects of Russian cultural history and 19th-century European notions of the Orient, it shows that Russian architects and the Imperial Academy of Arts were among the pioneers of the Moorish Revival. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9783110710656.
