Temples of Russia

Traditionally, Orthodox churches and monasteries were built in the best (sometimes unique!) corners of the Russian land by the most talented architects, while recognized icon painters and masters decorated them and created their interiors. It is no surprise that Russian... churches have become standards of beauty and proportion, images of Divine glory and creation, collections of masterpieces of world art. The chapters of this book, written by recognized art historians, ethnographers, and historians, tell the history of the most famous and venerated churches and their relics, the features of the external appearance and internal decoration of the most famous cathedrals. This illustrated gift edition will be a wonderful present for all connoisseurs of Russian culture and art.
