15.3. Read and translate the text:
Konstantin, born in St. Petersburg in the family of a German jeweller, was one of three Thon brothers who all rose to become notable architects. He studied at the Imperial Academy of Arts under the Empire Style architect Andrey Voronikhin13, best remembered for his work on the Kazan Cathedral, situated right in the middle of the Nevsky Prospekt. He studied Italian art in Rome from 1819 to 1828, and on his return home was admitted to the academy as its member and professor.
In 1854, he was appointed rector of the architectural division of the academy.
Thon first attracted public attention with his sumptuous design for the interiors of the Academy building on the Neva embankment. In 1827 he submitted to the tsar his project of St. Catherine church at the Obvodnyi Canal, the first ever design in the Russian Revival style. Nicolas I14, who felt disaffected with the prevailing Neoclassicism of Russian architecture, remarked that Russians have their own great art traditions and don't need to cringe before Rome. Thon's project was to become a revered model for other churches in St Petersburg and across Russia.
