Biography
Born in 1724 in Moscow in the family of a painter.
At seventeen, he entered the Moscow Kremlin Architecture School. In 1749, the school was assigned to the artillery department and its graduates (cadets) had military ranks. At first, Zherebtsov was a student in the Moscow town planning office under the direction of A. P. Yevlashev [1] (since 1748). He probably studied with him, participating in the construction of palace complexes in the middle of the 18th century . At the end of the school, he was accepted in the rank of sergeant (junior assistant architect) in the Gofintendantsky palace office. In 1754 he received the rank of ensign and the title of assistant architect, and in October of that year - the rank of lieutenant . Since 1777 - “architector” in the College of Savings.
In 1758 I.P. Zherebtsov began the construction of a five-tier bell tower of the Novospassky monastery , but due to lack of funds only four tiers were erected (the bell tower was completed after the death of Zherebtsov). He created a lot himself, and also had to implement projects of other architects, in particular - the St. Petersburg architect S. I. Chevakinsky . He participated in the construction of the Golitsyn estate in the village of Vlakhernsky (Kuzminki), also authored by Chevakinsky. He made for her projects a wooden bell tower and a carved iconostasis (1760-1765), a greenhouse (1761), and supervised the construction in the park (1765). Also among his famous works is the bell tower in the Nikolo-Ugreshsky monastery . [2]
He had his own house in Moscow in the Basmannaya part of the city (now Staraya Basmannaya street). He died in 1783 in Moscow. He was buried in the Novospassky Monastery under the belfry created by his own design.
