Decoration of the chambers

The scores of the windows of the Cross Exaltation Church are also well combined with this decoration. The windows are framed by elegant chiseled half -columns supporting decorative tops. Large profiled spirals (free) are curved here, over which small paired curls are located in the form of small crowns. This technique of decorative decoration of windows is widespread in the Prikamye not only on temple buildings, but also in secular. An example can be called the House of Stroganov (XVIII century) in the Usolier. Simple in general appearance, this house attracts the attention of the solemn beauty of outdoor decoration. The most vivid decor elements here are luxurious windows of windows. Traditional round half -columns framed the openings, but on top there are lush front -shots, which, as the professor noted in. IN. Kostochkin, although they resemble the architectural forms of the preceding century, but they are completely dissimilar: “In their beautiful drawing, bizarre forms of carved wooden products and openwork metal castings are visible, and the signs and thoroughness of the performance can be seen by the long -standing gravity of the Stroganovsky family to the details, details and details and details General patterned… In colorful spots, these platbands appear against the background of smooth, induced masonry of brick walls “. Among other elements of the decoration of the Stroganov chambers, an openwork cornice with bug ornament deserves attention. Its drawing resembles a sampling pattern of metal matches, which have become widespread at a later time. In the last century, stone (brick) buildings in the cities and towns of the Urals are becoming more and more, however, the techniques of their decorative design acquire a simplified nature, although the pantries and the material used continue to maintain high quality. To some extent, this is due to the fact that in the practice of construction various guidelines, manuals and albums began to be applied, allowing to choose one or another technique of decoration without much thought. It has become easier to build, but the charm of the identity that we see in the works of old unknown masters, unfortunately, was gone.
