Two Camerons
[BACK TO SUNDAY JUNE 22]

 

Charles Cameron

"Charles Cameron was an architect and interior designer of Scots origin, who came to Russia in 1779 at the behest of Catherine the Great, and established himself as one of the Empress's favourite designers, working at Tsarskoe Selo for over fifteen years. Little is known of the half-century of his life before that date, except that in 1772 he published a scientific tract on the architecture of Roman baths, which is presumably what first attracted Catherine's attention."
