embankment of the Northern Dvina, 17, Arkhangelsk, Arkhangelsk region, 163000
Description:
The monument to Lomonosov, erected in 1829 opposite the Arkhangelsk State Technical University, was designed by Martos. 46,000 rubles for the monument was collected by all-Russian subscription.
Initially, the monument was installed on Cathedral Square, later on the square in front of the provincial presence places.
The bronze monument is made in the style of late classicism. The sculpture of the monument is installed on a granite pedestal with a plinth and cornice. On the front side of the pedestal there is an inscription "Lomonosov 1829", and on the back - "Moved in 1867 and 1930".
The sculpture depicts Lomonosov in full growth, dressed in an antique toga. In his left hand he holds a lyre, which is offered to him by a genius – a young man with wings.
