Description
The concept of “patron” came to us from Ancient Rome. A patron, close to Emperor Augustus, supported poets and backed them financially.
His name became a common noun — and people started calling that all those who help art and culture. In Russia, patronage has a long tradition. Russian tsars, princes, and magnates supported icon painters and compilers of chronicles and histories, builders of temples and palaces, book printers, poets, and scholars.
The rise of patronage in Russia began with the reign of Catherine II, and its true “golden age” came in the second half of the 19th century — the beginning of the 20th century.
The nobility gradually lost its leading role, and businessmen stepped onto the historical stage, who, in supporting figures of culture and scholars, began to “play the first violin.”
This book is devoted to the most outstanding patrons of Russia from the 17th to the 20th centuries, from F. M. Rtishchev to E. A. Falz-Fein.
