The Annunciation and the Conception of St Anne

* * *

Mid 16th century

National Art Museum, Kiew

“The iconostases are breathtaking in their height and gilding. The magnificent large altar doors are carved in the round and gilded.” Iconostases were erected in both stone and wooden churches, both large and small; a humble wooden exterior often hides an iconostasis of amazing beauty, which gives the ascetic interior a certain festive feel. The little wooden Church of the Holy Spirit in Rogatin, near Ivano-Frankovsk, is just such a superficially unremarkable building.
