Mosaic The Entry of Christ into Jerusalem, artist V.V. Belyaev

The creation of the mosaic decoration of the Savior on Blood began in the private studio of the decorative mosaic by AA Frolov on the Cadet line. After the early death of the master in June 1897, his younger brother Vladimir Aleksandrovich Frolov (1874-1942) replaced him. The workshop moved, and later was located in its own building Frolov on Vasilievsky Island. In a relatively short period, almost all the mosaic decoration of the Savior on Blood was created in this workshop. VA Frolov became a major master of Russian and Soviet mosaic and is considered the main creator of the mosaic decoration of the Church of the Resurrection of Christ (the Savior on Blood).

 

Decorability was achieved by strengthening several basic tones, a clear definition of the limits of light and shade, colors and shades. The set was simplified and enlarged with increasing altitude. Refusal to grind smalt helped to reveal the wealth of its texture.
