St. Barbara’s Church in Varvarka Street. Typology and Iconography
St. Barbara’s Church in Varvarka Street (1796–1804) is one of the most widely known Moscow churches. However, questions remain regarding the author of the project. The existing opinion that Rodion Kazakov erected the building is doubted by some specialists.
The author begins by looking into the issue of prototypes that inspired St. Barbara’s architectural iconography. Three principle constructions are being pointed out: St. Michael’s Church (1794–96) in Aleksino, the Baryshnikov estate in the Smolensk Region; a church in the Village Kuzmishchevo (1789) in the Kaluga Region; and another one in Nikolo-Prozorovskoye (1792) in the Moscow Region. All these buildings, in terms of their typology, style and composition are very close to the Moscow church. All of them, in one way or another, are connected with the activities of Matvei Kazakov. The author comes up with a hypothesis that Matvei Kazakov was possibly the creator of the Varvarka Street church.
The second part of the paper is devoted to various provincial constructions that were influenced by St. Barbara’s Church, which was very popular owing to a miraculous icon and was copied many times across Russia.
