Ivan Fyodorovich Michurin
- Ivan Fyodorovich Michurin
Ivan Fyodorovich Michurin (1700–1763) was a Russian architect whose designs marked a transition of Russian architecture from early Muscovite baroque to mature Rastrelliesque style.
Michurin studied in the Naval Academy (1718–1720) before completing his education in Holland (1723–1729). He worked primarily in Moscow, devising the first general plan [http://historic-cities.huji.ac.il/russia/moscow/maps/michurin_1739_moscow.html] of that city between 1734 and 1739. His best known building in Moscow could be the Church of St. Clement, which still dominates the Zamoskvoretsky part of the city, although its attribution is disputed.
Empress Elizabeth sent him to Kiev to realize Rastrelli's design of Saint Andrew Church. Michurin's last project was the bell-tower of the Troitse-Sergiyeva Lavra, finished by his disciple Dmitry Ukhtomsky.
