Karl Blank

Karl Ivanovich Blank (Russian: Карл Иванович Бланк; 1728 – 1793) was a Russian architect, notable as one of the last practitioners of Baroque architecture and the first Moscow architect to build early neoclassical buildings. His surviving, undisputed legacy consists of three baroque churches and Moscow Orphanage. The Ukrainian palace of Kachanivka is also attributed to him.
