Noooooo, where is the explanation? Or from now on do we have to use our brains?😭
I skip the explanation when I can’t add much! Late Medieval Russian architecture uses a lot of curves and ‘onion domes’, in contrast to the more rigid Western European Gothic and Romanesque (and to a lesser degree, Renaissance) architecture.
Oh, I thought the guy is someone I should recognize from the crown or something.
It is known as Monomakh’s cap. It’s a mongol era muscovian kings cap and has mythical origin story that tries to connect muscovy with rome through kievan princes of rurick dynasty (they were related before dynasty changed).
Also exterior and interior church design is more or less copied from byzantium designs, they loved their arcs and crosses. Interior design is largely unchanged, I think, from late byzantene one.
yes we’ve had meme, but what about historical context?
Onion
Interesting! Did the term “onion dome” emerge in retrospect? Or did they really intentionally make them onion shaped?
Retrospect, I think, but I know very little about later European architecture
