THE SOROCHYNSKYI ICONOSTASIS

This brilliant album is dedicated to the Sorochynskyi Iconostasis (the iconostasis at Transfiguration Church in the village of Velyki Sorochyntsi in Poltava Oblast), a significant relic of the Ukrainian baroque. Crafted at the height of the baroque style, this iconostasis reflects its most common characteristics and highest achievements. The wonderful paintings, in conjunction with the luxurious carving and decoration, present an extraordinarily interesting work of art from the time of the Hetmanate. The publication includes not only unique photographs of the icons taken by Ivan Krezhenstovsky, but also scholarly articles written by Liudmyla Myliaieva, Inna Dorofiienko, and Olha Rutkovska. The texts are also given in English so this unique monument can be enjoyed beyond the borders of Ukraine.
