The Early Stage of the St. Petersburg Art Nouveau (1890s)

The paper studies the earliest examples of the appearance of the new style in St. Petersburg in the 1890s. Its emergence was influenced by various European architectural schools. The first features of Art Nouveau appeared in interior design and décor. Among the different types of buildings city residences and dachas were the first to determine the character of the new style. Analyzing the architecture of these edifices, we can state that N. I. de Rochefort, V. I. Shenet, V.I. Chagin, V.V. Schaub were those, who most strongly influenced the initial stage of the St. Petersburg Art Nouveau.
