Description of the artwork «Wooden terem palace in Kolomenskoye»

My series "Kolomenskoye" consists of 4 works. Each corresponds to a specific time of year and a certain corner of the Kolomenskoye park in Moscow. This painting depicts the wooden palace tower of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich in the summer. The work was done in oil on canvas stretched on a stretcher. Canvas stretch - gallery, i.e. the image on the canvas continues on the sides of the stretcher. Delivery at the buyer's expense. The whole series of 4 works costs 150,000 rubles.


About the Terem Palace

Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich was very fond of Kolomenskoye, here he hunted and received ambassadors and it was he who turned his estate into a fabulous house. Construction took place five years from 1667 to 1672, the work was performed by talented master carpenters under the leadership of Ivan Mikhailov and Semyon Petrov.

It should be noted that Peter the Great, the son of Alexei Mikhailovich, valued his father’s house. Here he learned to write and count, he sailed here, rafting along the Moscow River, and here he developed a desire for military service.

However, later, when the capital was moved to Petersburg, the Moscow manor was abandoned and over the years has deteriorated greatly. It turned out to be difficult to restore it, and Catherine II ordered to disassemble the building, but first measure and draw the plans of all the rooms.

Fortunately, documents and drawings have survived to this day, and the ensemble in Kolomenskoye was recreated according to them in 2007-2010.
