![]() The Church of the Resurrection in Kostroma in the northern part of European Russia was built in the 1650s and demonstrates the exuberant decoration of the exterior characteristic of its period. However, in spite of the dramatic exterior, the church is noted primarily for its interior wall paintings. This color photograph was produced from plates left by Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863-1944). This photograph was taken in 1910! This is a working church and looks pretty much the same today. |
