Vorontsovsky (Alupka) Palace

In the center of Alupka the majestic Vorontsovsky palace – the unique monument of architecture of the first half of XIX century – towers among greenery of the age-old park. Built in the epoch of romanticism, it amazes with the bright originality of architectural forms. Not alone generation of lovers of the beau-ideal takes a delight in original planning, interesting stylish decisions of each of corps, proficiency of the putting up of the walls, and, especially, fill-out of interior. Hundreds of serfs and civilians – bricklayers, engravers, modelers, joiners – invest their labor in the creation of this masterpiece. Thus, the relief is so skillfully used, that, it seems, a palace grows from surrounding nature.

A palace was built as a summer residence of prominent statesman of Russia, the governor-general of the Novorossiysky Krai, Prince Mikhail Vorontsov (1782-1856).

It was built on the project of the English architect Edward Blore (1789-1879).

The major role in the development of English romanticism of the first half of XIX century was played by an infatuation for the monuments of old times, their study and renewal.

To this activity Blore was devoted itself in youths years.

 And then he became the palace architecture of King George V and also of Queen Victoria. He was the author of ideas of Buckingham House, the Westminster Abbey and a lot of buildings both on a continent and in the former English colony in Australia. But, perhaps, most independently and full his gift opened up in a project of Vorontsovsky palace.

The basic build material – diabase of magmatic origin, of green-grey coloration, inks under to become the color of mountains and evergreen greenery - was extracted from natural mineral deposits in Alupka.

In the August, 1863 here the voice of the great actor Michail Schepkin was sounded for the last time. In 1898 this concert room applauded to Fedor Shalyapin, accompanied wth Sergej Rakhmaninov.

In the period of the Yalta conference this palace was the place of accommodation of the English delegation at the head with Sir Winston Churchill.After its closing the palace and the part of park appeared in the department of the resorts of governments officials. In 1956 the museum resumed its work in three buildings of the palace. Now the collection of museum counts over 20 thousand of various exhibits. Among them there are the Russian and West-European paintings of XVI-XIX cc., arts and crafts of England, France, and Russia. There are unique collections of maps, engravings, architectural drafts, memorial library. In 1988 the museum was filled up granted collection of the professor of the Nikitsky Botanical Garden Vitaliy Golubev, which counts 204 examples of Russian and Soviet arts from the beginning of the century up to our days.

 

Chekhov and the World Culture

I. The great English writer G.B.Show wrote, that Chekhov's name shines as a star of the first value among the other European playwrights. Chekhov worked for the theatre much: a drama etude "Kalhas" ("Swan Song",1887), plays "Ivanov", "Leshy" ("The Wood-goblin", 1889, was altered later in the play "Uncle Vanya"), vaudevilles "About a Harm of Tobacco" (1886), "The Bear", (1880), "Proposal" (1888-89), "Anniversary" (1891-92), "The Seagull" (1896), "Uncle Vanya", "The three Sisters" (1901), "The Cherry orchard" (1903). Chekhov liked theatre all his life. The first theatrical impressions were given to him in the youth in his native town of Taganrog. At that time, by his brother Michail witness the first drama experiences were wrote: unremain vaudeville and play "Parentless" men was found and published in 1923 only. The theatre and art environment of Moscow and st.Petersburg surrounded Chekhov with the beginning of literary activity. Among his acquaintances were musicians, artists, actors, directors, critics and writers. Sometimes Chekov represented himself as a theatrical reviewer. Many Chekhov's stories, feuilletons, articles and letters of 1880-ties were devoted to the theatre and the actors. The writer highly appreciated Russian realistic school. She was well familiar to the great tragic actress M.Ermolova, he made friends with the actors V.Davydov and P.Svobodin, V.Komissargevskaya and M.Savina among Moscow theatres. Chekhov preferred The Maly Theatre, among Petersburg-Alexandrinsky Theatre. Almost all his works, which devoted to the theatre, were full of respect to the actor culture and professionalism.Читать далее

Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky (Ukrainian: Іва́н Костянти́нович Айвазо́вський, Russian: Иван Константинович Айвазовский, Armenian: Հովհաննես Այվազովսկի - Hovhannes Aivasovsky, originally Aivazian) July 29, 1817 – May 5, 1900) was a painter of Armenian descent living and working Crimea, most famous for his seascapes, which constitute more than half of his paintings.

Life

Aivazovsky was born in the town of Feodosiya, Crimea (Russian Empire) to a poor Armenian family. His parents family name was Aivazian. Some of artist's paintings bear a signature, in Armenian letters, "Hovhannes Aivazian" (Հովհաննես Այվազյան). His talent as an artist earned him sponsorship and entry to the Simferopol gymnasium №1 and later the St.Petersburg Academy of Arts, from which he graduated with the gold medal. Earning awards for his early landscapes and seascapes, he went on to paint a series of portraits of Crimean coastal towns before traveling throughout Europe. In later life, his paintings of naval scenes earned him a longstanding commission from the Russian Navy.

In 1845, Aivazovsky went to Constantinople upon the invitation of Sultan Abdülmecid, a city he was to travel to eight times between 1845-1890. During his long sojourn in Constantinople, Aivazovsky was commissioned for a number of paintings as a court painter by the Ottoman Sultans Abdülmecid, Abdulaziz and Abdulhamid, 30 of which are currently on display in the Ottoman Imperial Palace, the Dolmabahce Museum and many others at various other museums in Turkey.

“We're here tonight … to highlight the importance of the arts in our life and in our nation,” said President Obama. “We're here to celebrate the power of words and music to help us appreciate beauty, but also to understand pain; to inspire us to action, and to spur us on when we start to lose hope; to lift us up out of our daily existence — even if it's just for a few moments — and return us with hearts that are a little bit bigger and fuller than they were before.”

The Russian alphabet is usually called the Cyrillic characters. In the 9th century, the Glagolitics were used in the first Slavic translations of the Christian Bible and liturgy, by the bothers Saint Methodius and Saint Cyril (Constantine before his death) of Constantinople, in Greater Moravia which included the present-day Bohemia and Moravia regions of Czeko, Slovakia, and part of Poland and Hungary. Their desciples were ousted to Bulgaria, and invented the Cyrillic alphabet, based on the Greek uncial characters. This Cyrillic alphabet continued to be used widely in the Middle Age in Russia and Ukraina as the only formal alphabet, and was used in the Church Slavonic language. It was simplified as the Civil alphabet at Czar Peter the Great's time, and further simplified during the Soviet period.

And every evening at this hour
(or is it just a dreamy case?)
A waist in satin, like a flower,
Moves past the window in the haze.

Without drunken men to hinder,
Alone, she walks across the room
And settles down by the window
Exhaling fog and sweet perfume.

There is a kind of old times flavour
About her silky clothes and things:
Her hat, in mourning plumes as ever,
Her hand and fingers, all in rings.

Elegy

O, snatch'd away in beauty’s bloom!
On thee shall press noo ponderous tomb;
But on thy turf shall roses rear
Their leaves, the earliest of the year,
And the wild cypress wave in tender gloom.

And oft by yon blue gushing stream
Shall Sorrow lean her drooping head,
And feed deep thought with many a dream,
And lingering pause and lightly tread;
Fond wretch! as if her step disturb'd the dead!

Away! we know that tears are vain,
That Death nor heeds nor hears distress:
Will this unteach us to complain?
Or make one mourner weep the less?
And thou, who tell'st me to forget,
Thy looks are wan, thine eyes are wet.

Если совсем не знаешь английского можно прочитать ( перевести и послушать ) в очень хорошем переводчике с озвучкой http://translation2.paralink.com/
O, snatch'd далеко в расцвете красоты!
На Вас нажмет noo тяжелую могилу;
Но на вашей сфере влияния будет тыл роз
Их листья, самый ранний из года,
И дикая волна кипариса в нежном мраке.
