Nikolay Alexandrovich Lvov made a career in technology at a time when the terms of that career were still being set.
The record lists Nikolay Alexandrovich Lvov as Russian artist and architect (1753-1804).
Nikolay Alexandrovich Lvov was born at Nikolskoe in 1753. His recorded nationality is the Russian Empire.
The eighteenth century organised knowledge into academies, expeditions and collections, and turned patronage into something closer to a profession.
He worked as anthropologist, linguist and poet.
His principal work is Priory Palace. Technology is judged by adoption: an invention nobody uses is a curiosity.
Working from the Russian Empire shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
Nikolay Alexandrovich Lvov died in 1804, aged 51. What survives is the work, which is the only durable form of a reputation.
