Harald Julius von Bosse

Harald Julius von Bosse (28 September 1812 – 10 March 1894; Гаральд Юлиус Боссе) was a 19th-century architect and painter.

He worked in Alexander Brullov's studio and was made a free painter in the Imperial Academy of Arts in 1832, an academician there in 1839 and a professor there in 1854.

The neo-Renaissance style was adopted by the House of Ivan Pashkov on Liteyny Avenue in St Petersburg (1841-1844), similarly decorated are the facades of the residential buildings on Bolshaya Konyushennaya Street, the mansion of E.P.

The facade of E. M. Buturlina's house on Tchaikovsky Street is one of the most striking examples of the "second baroque" in St. Petersburg, imitating the Winter Palace by Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli.

While rebuilding the Boudoir of Empress Maria Alexandrovna in the Winter Palace Bosse chose the Rococo style; he replaced the original blue colour with bright scarlet silk and gilded details.
