Book Description
We would like to bid you welcome to the Tver region! Tver is known as the "Soul of Russia”. This is not just a beautiful metaphor. Our ancient and beautiful land rightfully occupies a special place in the history, culture and formation of spiritual values of the entire Russian nation. It is only in the Tver region where three great rivers: the Volga, the Western Dvina and the Dnieper originate. Here you can stand on both banks of the rivers, which eventually flow into three different seas. The main Russian river, the Volga, is born here from the drops of an underground spring that gains strength as it grows, and becomes a symbol of our country, its statehood and spiritual power. The Tver region welcomes visitors by offering unique opportunities for recreation, travel and daily activities. When you explore our region you will see with your own eyes the rich and fascinating heritage of the Tver land. The wonders of Russia include the ancient citadel of Orthodoxy which is the Boris and Gleb monastery in Torzhok, the «rising-from-the water» bell tower of St. Nicholas Cathedral in Kalyazin, and the Church of the White Trinity in Tver. The unique architectural ensemble of downtown Tver is often referred to as the «tri-axial structure» or «classic trident».Our region is within easy reach for travelers. It is located close to the Sheremetyevo International Airport and connected with the nearby provinces through a network of modern highways as well as high-speed rail and water routes. Feel free to choose the route your prefer and embark on an exciting journey!!! We are looking forward to seeing you soon.Designated Tourist Routes in the Tver RegionRoute No 1.

The History of the Discovery and Study of Russian Medieval Painting
Author: Gerol'd I. VzdornovPublisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004305270
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 446
Book Description
This is the first study in any language to trace the emergence of the art historical interest in icon painting in the nineteenth century with its evident impact on the course of Russian modernism in the twentieth century. Given the surge in popularity of the Russian avant-garde, a book devoted to the gradual awareness of the artistic value of icons and their effect on Russian aesthetics is timely. The discoveries, the false starts, the incompetence, the interaction of dilettantes and academics, the meddling of tsars and church officials, all make for a fascinating tale of growing cultural awarenss. It is a story that prepares the ground for the explosioin of Russian cultural creativity and acceptability in the early twentieth century.

Book Description
Byzantine and Russian Orthodox icons are perhaps the most enduring form of religious art ever developed--and one of the most mysterious. This book provides an accessible guide to their story and power. Illustrated mostly with Cretan, Greek, and Russian examples from the British Museum, which houses Britain's most important collection, the book examines icons in the context of the history of Christianity, as well as within the perspective of art history.

Book Description
Icon painting has reached its zenith in Ukraine between the 11th and 18th centuries. This art is appealing because of its great openness to other influences – the obedience to the rules of Orthodox Christianity in its early stages, the borrowing from Roman heritage or later to the Western breakthroughs – combined with a never compromised assertion of a distinctly Slavic soul and identity. This book presents a handpicked and representative selection of works from the 11th century to the late Baroque period.
