Andrey Voronikhin belongs to the record of technology as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Andrey Voronikhin as Russian architect and painter (1759-1814).
Andrey Voronikhin was born at Usolye in 1759. His recorded nationality is the Russian Empire. He was educated at Imperial Academy of Arts.
The eighteenth century organised knowledge into academies, expeditions and collections, and turned patronage into something closer to a profession.
The record gives his occupations as architect, painter and sculptor.
His affiliations include Imperial Academy of Arts.
The work that carried his reputation furthest concerned work on Kazan Cathedral in Saint Petersburg. Technical work compounds - each layer makes the next one cheaper to attempt.
The surviving body of work includes Kazan Cathedral and Saint Petersburg Mining University.
His recorded fields of work are painting and architecture.
His work was formally recognised with the Order of St. Vladimir, 4th class, Order of St. Vladimir, 3rd class and Order of Saint Anna, 2nd class.
That the work was done from the Russian Empire matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Andrey Voronikhin died in 1814 at the age of 55. The work outlived the arguments around it.
