The selection of works reflected the customers and painters’ religious outlook in several Central Russia,

The transformation of a separate piece of work and incorporating it into architectural space let us talk about provincial replicas of famous capital works as anAn article provides an analysis of some renowned metropolitan masterpieces in provincial interpretations using several unknown church murals as an example.
