17th Century Cathedral at the Holy Spirit Monastery in Borovichi
The article introduces a new architectural site to the history of Russian architecture: the four-pillar Cathedral of the Holy Spirit, built in the Borovichi monastery (Novgorod diocese) in 1673–1676. According to the archival data and field research and measurements made in 2018, we can see that the modern exterior of the cathedral shows forms that are typical for a 17th century construction. Having analyzed these forms the author concludes that the architecture of the cathedral embodies the most significant trends of the mid — second half of the 17th century: time of Patriarch Nikon and the period of Tsarist architecture during the reign of Alexei Mikhailovich. The composition of the cathedral is influenced by innovative features of the three-dimensional composition of the Church of the Protection of the Theotokos in Izmaylovo — the “position monument”, which introduced the most advanced ideas of the last period of Old Russian art into the pillar construction of churches: centricity and elements of symmetry.
Keywords:
