Description:
Church of Saints Volodymyr and Olha, Stary Dobrotvir village, Chervonohrad district
Abstract:

One of the bright examples of masonry church architecture is the mature author's style, the iconic embodiment of architect Yevhen Nahirnyii's practice. It was created in the form of early constructivism in 1935-1938. It is a majestic three-nave, cross-domed church of considerable size, with an expressive arrangement of geometric volumes of an isosceles spatial cross, to which two exquisite monumental towers, square in plan, are attached from the north and south-west. All three tops of the temple and its western pediment are crowned with open work octagonal lanterns. In the interior, attention is drawn to the modern highly artistic ensemble of wall paintings and laconic stained glass compositions in the windows, originally treated in a constructivist manner. The monumental painting in the concept of modern neo-Byzantineism was executed in the early 2000s by the artists of the art association "Image" under the leadership of the famous modern artist Oleksiy Cherednichenko.
