Mikhail Zemtsov

Mikhail Grigorievich Zemtsov (Russian: Михаи́л Григо́рьевич Земцо́в; 1688 – 1743) was a Russian Imperial architect who practiced a sober, restrained Petrine Baroque style, which he learned from his peer Domenico Trezzini. He has been described as "the first professionally trained Russian architect in history".[1]
