Architecture and Image of the Cathedral of the Novospasski Monastery
The paper analyzes the compositional-stylistic features of the Cathedral-Sepulcher of the Novospasski Monastery — a important landmark in Russian 17th century architecture. The author follows the evolution of the principle compositional traits of the construction and its décor. The project was carried out as a royal commission, and the work also studies its stylistic analogies. A conclusion is made regarding the singular significance of this building as a model for other cathedrals and its role in 17th century ecclesiastical architecture as a whole.
