ARCHITECTURE PAINTING LITERATURE


The main part of the territory of North-Eastern Rus', lying between the Oka and Volga rivers, was included in Vladimir-Suzdal principality.

In 1158-1164. at Prince Yuri Dolgoruky the construction of fortress walls around Vladimir begins, stone travel towers stood out in particular - Silver and Golden Gates. Cathedral being laid at the same time Dormition Our Lady. It was a large one-domed temple. As building material the architects used white stone blocks and tuff. stone carving- a distinctive feature of the Vladimir churches. In the interior of the temple there were many precious icons in gold settings, the walls were decorated with frescoes.


Ancient Russian architecture, in the presence of great monumentality, is characterized by the extreme plasticity of forms, a sense of their calmness and inviolability, commensurability with the size of a person, his scale and needs.

_______________________________________ ______

A characteristic feature that related all the architecture of that time was organic combination of architectural structures with the natural landscape.

Church of Boris and Gleb in Kideksha 1152.

In the Vladimir-Suzdal Principality, starting with the rather modest in terms of decoration buildings of Yuri Dolgoruky such as the church of Boris and Gleb in Kideksha, an original, bright architecture developed, distinguished by a special elegance of proportions and elegance of the external decor, in particular, virtuoso carving on white stone.

Assumption Cathedral in Vladimir 1185-1189

Stone construction was especially active in Vladimir.

The building artel, in addition to local craftsmen, included Western Europeans sent by Emperor Frederick Barbarossa.

The largest object was Assumption Cathedral the city of Vladimir (1158-1160, rebuilt in 1185-1189), which differed both from Kyiv and from the early monuments of North-Eastern Rus'.

This is a white-stone temple of slender proportions and large size, decorated with luxurious carved perspective portals, arcade-columnar belt, and complexly profiled pilasters.

The Cathedral of the Dormition witnessed the rapid flourishing of Vladimir-Suzdal Rus and its brutal devastation by hordes of Tatar-Mongol invaders.

It was in the Assumption Cathedral that the the first Vladimir chronicles, at the altar of the Assumption Cathedral, commanders were erected to reign Alexander Nevskiy , Dmitry Donskoy and other Vladimir and Moscow princes.

In the first quarter of the 14th century, the Assumption Cathedral was the main temple of Rus' .

Inside, frescoes by masters of the 12th century, icon painters of the 15th century have been preserved. Andrey Rublev And Daniel Cherny.


Church of the Intercession on the Nerl, 1165

The church is connected with the military campaigns of the princes of Vladimir Veil on the Nerl, founded a kilometer from Bogolyubov (country princely residence) at the confluence of the Nerl into the Klyazma in memory of the son of Andrei Bogolyubsky Izyaslav, who died of wounds.


After Mongol-Tatar ruin Russian architecture was going through a period of decline and stagnation. Monumental construction stopped for half a century, the cadres of builders were essentially destroyed, and technical continuity was also undermined. Therefore, at the end of the 13th century, in many ways it was necessary to start over.

Construction is now concentrated in two main areas: in the northwest ( Novgorod and Pskov) and in the ancient Vladimir land ( Moscow and Tver).

Plinth was replaced by a cheap one flagstone, which, in combination with boulders and bricks, formed the uniquely plastic silhouettes of Novgorod buildings.
