The iconostasis from the Assumption Cathedral of the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery

Only four Russian iconostases of the XVth century have been preserved till nowadays and one of them is being exposed in the Moscow Kremlin Museums. The masterpiece from the Assumption Cathedral of the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery is a fine example of the Russian classical iconostasis, which reveals the main spiritual concept of such kind of artwork, consisting in the connection between earth and heaven by means of saints’ prayers.
