Built to not only house members of the government and former royal family, but also to signify the status of the Russian government through the use of the highest-quality materials and complex designs similar to that of the Palace of Versailles (built 1678-1682), as shown in the images, to create an elaborate and both an economically and historically valuable work of art that still stands today.]]> 2018-01-29 14:29:48 UTC https://padlet.com/cgryskiewicz/lxn2fnxvofot/wish/225635650 https://padlet.com/cgryskiewicz/lxn2fnxvofot/wish/225635933 The use of architecture to legitimize rule is apparent because the buildings of politicians were typically larger and used columns and great arches as shown in the Winter Palace, 1732-1759. This was used to show the power that they held. The Winter Palace was built over a span of 27 years while the Palace of Versailles was built in only 4 years]]> 2018-01-29 14:30:13 UTC https://padlet.com/cgryskiewicz/lxn2fnxvofot/wish/225635933 https://padlet.com/cgryskiewicz/lxn2fnxvofot/wish/225635968 Throughout history,we consistently see rulers, leaders, and politicians use architecture to legitimize, their power. Peter the Great brought Western European cultural and social values to Russia which is clearly shown in distinct architectural similarities between the Palace of Versailles, and the Winter Palace. King Louis XIV built the Palace of Versailles to show his wealth and power to the world. This principle clearly "rubbed off" on Peter the Great who chose to show Russia wealth in the same manner. In both images one can notice similarities such as the rounded windows, block y structure and castle-like influences that are clear staples of Western European architecture. ]]> 2018-01-29 14:30:17 UTC https://padlet.com/cgryskiewicz/lxn2fnxvofot/wish/225635968 https://padlet.com/cgryskiewicz/lxn2fnxvofot/wish/225636024 Politicians used architecture to legitimize their rule, shown in both images, to show the power and strength of the governments that built them.

The Winter Palace politicians probably used their palace to legitimize their rule more than the Palace of Versailles because their palace is more elaborate and took way longer to build then the Palace of Versailles. The more luxurious the palace was the wealthier the politicians were and the more power they had. Allied governments would most likely feel more secure with the Russian's palace than with Paris's because it had more grandeur and luxury, which meant more money.]]> 2018-01-29 14:30:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cgryskiewicz/lxn2fnxvofot/wish/225636215 3468151 https://padlet.com/cgryskiewicz/lxn2fnxvofot/wish/225636299 Politicians used architecture to legitimize their rule, to show power and authority.

The Winter Palace was built after Peter the Great had established the reforms to make Russia more western, these reforms led to Russia using symbols common in the western style rule in their own capabilities.
