Description:

A. Zimin of Kholuy paints this winter landscape of the town of Suzdal. Pictured here are a few of the sixty churches that remain standing in the ancient city which is considered one of the major religious centers for Russian Orthodoxy. It is located approximately 100 km east of Moscow and can be reached by a train, a plane, an automobile, or a boat. The churches depicted here and the many others like them in the city are not only beautiful in their outward appearance, but also on the interior as well. Frescoes and icons painted in the 13th and 14th centuries' line the walls of the churches. In the eyes of Russian Orthodox people this creates an environment that is easy to pray and find spiritual peace in.
The pale, creamy buildings glow against the black lacquer background. All of the features in the scene are dealt with in an individual manner, which gives the buildings, trees, and landscape a distinct appearance. The use of gold in the composition is expertly executed; bringing a gleam to the composition that is not overbearing or obtrusive. A dream-like architectural work.
The box is made out of paper-mache. Black lacquer covers the exterior and red lacquer covers the interior of the box. Gold ornamentation frames the scene and wraps around the sides of the box. The box isn't hinged and rests on a flat bottom. The artist has written the title ("Suzdal"), Kholuy, and his name at the bottom of the composition.
