notes:

NOVOSPASSKY MONASTERY has existed on the high bank of the Moskva River since 1490. The church of the Transfiguration was built by Ivan III’s order. Monks were transferred there from the Kremlin. In the middle of the XVII century 7,5-meter-high thick walls were erected around the monastery. At the same time a team of bricklayers headed by Gregory Kopyla disassembled and reset root and branch the cathedral of the God’s Transfiguration. At the end of the XVIII century a church of the Mother of God’s Sign was built by V. I. Bazhenov’s project. At the same time a new five-tiered belfry was created by I. P. Zherebstov. Despite the fact that only four tiers were erected, the belfry was 71 meters high. During the 1812 fire two big bells fell down, having made a hole in the vaults. The main vault of the Christ the Saviour Cathedral preserved the remains of the Romanovs and many other prince’s families. The rebellious priest Avvakum, the Empress Yelizaveta Petrovna’s natural daughter Princess Tarakanova, the serf actress Praskovia Zhemtchugova – count Sheremetiev’s wife – were buried there. The monuments of the Monastery have been guarded by the state since 1972. Then the restoration of the monastery began. In 1991 the Novospassky Monastery was returned to the Orthodox Church. There are a Sunday school and a school of icon-painting at the monastery. The monasterial choir is considered to be one of the best all over Russia.

Потрясающее качество Ваших снимков не дает мне покоя. Под впечатлением Ваших работ я даже в рабочее время пошла в Даниловкий монастырь (неподалеку) и попыталась что-то снять: но меня погнал служитель, да и объектив был не тот (50/1.4).

Спасибо за отзыв, Ирина.
Ирина, надо было купить разрешение на съемку на территории монастыря.
Разрешение можно купить в административном здании, которое находится напротив самого монастыря (если встать у главного входа спиной к монастырю, то прямо через трамвайные пути будет оно. Там на втором этаже.)

Когда тесновато и хорошо, значит уютно:)
Работа очень понравилась. Особенно свет и великолепный изгиб с камнями на переднем плане. О примечании не говорю, я его просто сохраняю вместе с работой. Очень поучительно и познавательно и за это отдельное спасибо.

Eugene Yuchkin #17 Tue 15 Feb 2005 22:44

Спасибо, Олег. Я рад что тебе понравилась работа.

It is very intresting historic information you give. The picture is excellent and beautiful, but when it is with information you give it gives the picture a other dimention. I am very intrested in history of Russia and information like this gives me very much.
Best wishes from Norway
