A leather-bound book "The History of Russian Art. The art of the X-XVII centuries." Volume 1

The first volume of The History of Russian Art presents an essay on the history of the development of art in medieval Russia. Using the examples of the analysis of the most significant and striking works of architecture, painting, jewelry, sewing, and other types of artistic crafts, the reader will get an idea of the features of the imaginative thinking of the Russian people, about all the significant stages of the development of ancient Russian art, and the stylistic features of each of them. Russian Russian art history appears as a mirror reflecting the changing identity of the Russian people and the face of the country – Kievan Rus, numerous independent Russian lands of the era of feudal fragmentation and the Mongol conquest, Muscovite Rus and the Russian state from Dmitry Donskoy to Ivan IV the Terrible and, finally, Russia, which joined during the reign of tsars Alexei Mikhailovich, Fyodor Alekseevich. and the young Peter I to the European culture of Modern times.
