Named after A. L. Stieglitz was founded in 1876. Now it is one of the most famous educational institutions in Russia. The university is located in the historical part of St. Petersburg, the second largest city in the country and the main cultural center.

Start

In 1851, the famous art and industrial exhibition was held in England, at which different countries presented their best goods and products. In addition to traditional embroidery, ceramics, weaving, and jewelry, the companies presented amazing factory products made of wood, cast iron, and steel. The apotheosis of industrial achievements was the Crystal Palace: the pavilion where the exhibition took place was as if woven from a metal web and “sheathed” with large glass panels.

Birth of an art academy

Russian industrialists who visited the fair were greatly impressed. The idea of creating a national school for training artists specializing in applied arts was born. In 1860, a school of technical drawing was formed on the basis of the Moscow school. However, its capabilities were clearly not enough.

According to popular opinion, the initiative to organize a specialized art and industrial educational institution in St. Petersburg was made by Senator Alexander Polovtsov, the son-in-law of the richest (according to contemporaries) banker in Russia - Baron Stieglitz. The banker liked the idea, and he established a special fund in the amount of 7 million rubles (huge money at that time), on the interest from which the Central School of Technical Drawing, created in 1876, existed. It trained decorative artists in applied disciplines and teachers of technical drawing for other schools that began to appear throughout the country. Thus, TSUTR became the progenitor of the Academy. Stieglitz.

Development

The Soviet government took a different view of the role of art in industry. Any decorations were considered unnecessary, a manifestation of philistinism. In 1922, TSUTR was closed and later reformatted into a general education institution.

The rebirth of the Academy. Stieglitz occurred on 02/05/1945. On this day, courses for training restorers began. After the war, many historical buildings and works of art needed restoration.

In 1953, the Leningrad Higher Art and Industrial School (LVHPU) named after V.I. Mukhina was founded. People called it the Mukhinsky School. We must pay tribute, an amazing team was formed within its walls, which was able to restore bit by bit the centuries-old traditions of its predecessors and at the same time introduce a lot of new things into the science of industrial design, artistic crafts, and preservation of historical heritage. In 2007, the university was reorganized into the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts and Industry named after A. L. Stieglitz.

Today's day

Museum

At the Academy. Stieglitz has a wonderful museum (founded in 1878). It presents both the works of teachers and students of the academy from different years, as well as other works of art.

The same Alexander Polovtsov contributed to the creation of an art museum at the educational institution. Together with the architect Maximilian Messmacher, he convinced Baron Stieglitz of the need to have a collection of works of applied art - both as a teaching aid and to develop the artistic imagination of students. The baron allocated an additional 5 million rubles for the implementation of this idea, which made it possible to purchase art books for the school library, new exhibits for the museum, printed graphics, original paintings and drawings by Western European artists, products of master jewelers, and works of decorative artists in various industries.

Large amounts of money were spent on purchasing specialized exhibits and works of art at Parisian auctions; the best and unique lots were often purchased. Thanks to these acquisitions, the school museum became the owner of:

Samples of ceramics from archaic times.
Jewelry.
Archaeological objects of the ancient Phoenicians.
Antique furniture.
Antique fireplaces.
Products from ceramic centers in Italy, France, Germany.
Collections of French tapestries.
Original paintings by Tiepolo.
Original drawings by artists and decorators, including Giovanni Castiglione, Franceso Guardi, Perino del Vaga, Tiepolo, Polidori da Caravaggio, Annibale Carracci, Gilles Marie Oppenor and others.

After the death of Stieglitz, Alexander Polovtsov had to bring the improvement of the new art school to its logical conclusion. He gave considerable sums to charity and the development of the material and technical base.

Was in the museum and Medici hall, dedicated to the masters of decorative and applied arts who glorified Florence and their patrons. The ceiling of the hall is decorated with four medallions with portraits of representatives of the Medici dynasty and other figures.

The French enfilade of the museum was conceived by Messmacher with the aim of showing the development of the residential interior of France during the Renaissance. For this purpose, the halls of Henry II, Louis XIII, Louis XIV, etc. were created. Each elegantly decorated hall contained first-class works of art, specially selected by the architect.

So, Henry's hallII It was decorated with carved panels, dark blue velvet with royal coats of arms and tapestries, and works of art of the French Renaissance were displayed there, including faience from the first half of the 16th century. Samples of Italian majolica were also collected here. A noticeable decoration of the hall was the Italian fireplace of the 16th century (photo source:).
