Russian Churches

N. Komarova

Kholui artists have been very successful at painting architectural landscapes, ancient Russian cities, churches, and famous architectural monuments of Moscow and St. Petersburg. This box is an example of a poetic depiction of the architectural masterpieces of the Russian “Golden Ring” – a circle of ancient Russian cities to the northeast of Moscow. These old cities, including Vladimir, Suzdal, Kostroma, Yaroslavl, Rostov the Great, Pereslavl-Zalesskiy, and Sergiev Posad are steeped in history and boast some of the best and unique Russian architectural ensembles of the twelfth through seventeenth centuries.
