The painting was made en plein air in the town of Dmitrov. I painted it on my knees because already on the train I realized I’d forgotten my tripod. I loved the view of the cathedral from the earthen rampart, which is 7–9 meters high and about a kilometer long, completely surrounding the historic core of the town — the territory of the former Dmilden onion domes in close-up, almost right up against you — so that nothing is visible but shining metal against a clear sky. Architecture painted not from afar, but with respectful closeness, the way one looks at something truly important. I don’t know about you, but I’ve always been drawn to domes, especially golden ones. When they shine in the sun, it feels as if light illuminates not only the space but the soul.
It will make your interior cosy and unique.
The edges of the painting are painted, so it can be hung on the wall without a frame. Hanging hardware included. Please note that colors on screen may differ slightly from the original.
