metadata.value: Though the buying pieces of the Classic and Italian art of the Petrine time seemed to lack
  strategy, one can perceive some tendencies that show an aim to create what the German call
  Antikensammlung, a collection of Classic art kept at the royal court and organized under museum
  principles. One of plausible proves of this activity is an unfulfilled project made by Iuriy
  Kologrivov, who was busy buying pieces of art for the Imperial compilation in Rome. Having
  acquired some education as an architect, he proposed to Peter the Great an extant draft of the
  Venus’ Gallery meant to adorn his residence. For the center of the composition the statue of
  the Tauride Venus was chosen. Whereas this masterpiece was purchased by chance almost
  last of all, the average quality of the whole collection seems to be rather high, the display having
  been planned not as decorative one, but as an exhibition based on both art and historic
  principles. Some new for Petrine culture context traits include discrete exposition of Classic
  statues (and their copies) and modern Italian pieces along with presence of several statues of
  the same character (untypical for garden and interior decorative style of the period). This way
  of thinking coms back to Kologrivov’s culture experience gathered in Italy and even in a shape
  of an unrealized proposal is an interesting example of a classic art museum space and reflected
  the latest trends in perception of the Antiquity in Russia and Europe in the beginning of the
  18th century.
