Before you is not an ordinary encyclopedia on Russian iconography. The main purpose of this book is to give readers the keys to navigate the world of icons and wall paintings. To understand the logic of the images and to see the information hidden in the details. The author shows step by step how to "read" icons and how to understand the interesting nuances hidden in each story.
The first chapter describes the geometric principles that allow iconographers to tell about space and the objects depicted. The next chapters deal with signs, the little-noticed elements that make up any visual story, and the motifs that recur in different compositions. Finally, in the last chapter, the author examines unusual variations of certain subjects.
The book will be of interest both to those who want to gain general knowledge of Russian iconography and to those who are professionally engaged in the history of culture, art, and religion.
