please tell me, does not contradict the canons of such conciseness? Frankly, such is often seen, but only where all the destroyed murals and wall waiting for their artists.

of course may be different, and options for interior of the church very much. The most traditional option is a wall-painting, and the temple which I have shown, too, would endorse. Conciseness of course does not contradict the canons, but in the Orthodox church certainly should be an icon, even though a certain minimum.

in St. Petersburg, the hometown Frolov, many mosaics were recruited in their shop: marble cladding and mosaics of the Grand Tomb (1896-1906) in the Peter and Paul Fortress on the draft DI Grimm; panel tombstone AIKuindzhi (1913, Necropolis of Masters of Arts, a sketch of Nicholas Roerich), pharmacy Pel his "organoterapevticheskim Institute and mosaic coats of arms under the roof (1910); sparkles in the sun frieze home Nabokov; smalt flickers the entire top floor of Big Zelenin; toy is the channel Griboedova Savior on Spilled Blood by Alexander Parland (1897-1907) - the largest, fully mosaic creation Frolovskaya workshop. Inside the temple is a veritable museum of mosaics, covering an area of 7 065 square meters. Mosaic was created based on sketches by 32 artists, among whom were artists such as VM Vasnetsov, MV Nesterov, AP Ryabushkin, VV Belyaev, NN Kharlamov. Mosaic display of the Savior on Spilled Blood is one of the largest collections in Europe.
Private studio Frolov in the early twentieth century inundated with orders, built his own house: Vasilevsky Island, Bolshoy prospect, 64. It both work and live. Unexpected in the classical courtyard, a well mosaics still adorn the walls.
"The workshop was on the second floor, and mosaics were placed in order of advertising and visual information", - explained the grandson Vladimir Frolov Vladimir Frolov.
A year after the revolution studio Frolova closed: Mosaic - outside the law - religious art. Ten years of the ban on the profession. No one thought of emigration. Frolov gives lessons, something that restores and even collects balalaika orchestra.
Saved by Russian mosaic is one of the buildings. Author mausoleum - a distinguished architect Alexei Shchusev - when construction of the present: memorial hall certainly need to draw a mosaic. And such an important matter can be entrusted only to one man - Vladimir Frolov - and his studio.
Rigorous pierced the walls of the mausoleum laceration rdeyuschih banners - it Frolov and still only three people so treated and put purple smalt. Monogram - H1 and A2 - Nicholas I and Alexander II. Shrine of the proletarian leader is finished with imperial smalt.
It had moved in 1929. But at the same time had to shift and Frolov.
"1929 - a rather difficult year for the family Frolov. By order of the Leningrad City Council to evict the owners from their homes, despite the fact that he was engaged in the manufacture of mosaics for Lenin's mausoleum, Frolov and his family were evicted from the house" - told his grandson Vladimir Frolov.
Frolov moved into a wrecked mosaic workshop of the Academy of Fine Arts St. Petersburg, which on its own leads in order, which makes his most famous Soviet work: Frolov and his masters in Moscow to collect a mosaic subway station Mayakovskaya "(author sketches - AA Deineka, theme - "Day of Soviet sky", 1937).
From 1929 to 1942 he was restored mosaic of the Battle of Poltava, MV Lomonosov Moscow State University, mosaics of the cathedral of St. Michael Monastery (the removal and restoration, 1934-35) and St. Sophia Cathedral - Kiev (1936-40), led the workshop Mosaic Art Academy, became professor and author of several articles on the history, theory and restoration of mosaics.
Also V. Frolov completed eight smaltovyh mosaics on the walls of the travel station Avtozavodskaya in Moscow under the title "The Soviet people during the Great Patriotic War," based on sketches by artists VF Bordichenko, B. Pokrovsky and F. K . Lehto.
In March 1941 he took part in a special committee convened by the Division for Cultural Heritage Preservation Lenispolkoma, proposed continuation of the Church of the Resurrection "as the building of a unique characteristic for a certain period of Russian architecture.
Last work of VA Frolov mosaics for subway station Novokuznetskaya in Moscow. Frolov had time to finish the job in 1942, despite the fact that he worked in deplorable conditions and virtually alone. Monumental panel of smalt language arts mosaic talk about a peaceful life: people harvest crops, build houses, take their children to school. These panels were made in blockaded the starving master mosaic and the great risks taken to Moscow on the "road of life" - across Lake Ladoga. In besieged Leningrad, hungry and sick, he sketches A. Deineki makes these mosaics. Finished completely exhausted. Nevertheless spent Concrete cartouches with mosaics to Ladoga and watched them loading.
Next his haven - the Smolensk Cemetery, where among identical and endless blockade of graves is a monument to the professors of the Academy of Arts.
All there and still banging hammers almost 70 years later.
"How in the XII century - said Senior Master mosaic workshop Russia Academy of Art Pavel Stepanov - all the same. Stump, a hammer - all the same. The whole of antiquity. Similar instruments. Hammer to split smalt, was formerly without pobedita. Now with pobeditom. That's the whole difference. "
The technique of mosaic art does not change and can not change anything. Mosaic say they work with eternity.
"Smalto virtually forever. If it does not shoot, no fire, it is stored for a long time", - said Pavel Stepanov.
Below are drawn portraits of Peter for new stations in St. Petersburg metro. Upstairs are the same mosaic portraits of Lenin and Stalin. Caption: "XVII Party Congress." 1934. And next - the very same sketches that Alexander himself Deineki to the ceiling of the Moscow station Mayakovskaya. And there are three different eras and three different Russia - Tsarist, Soviet, and current, but there is one country and one epoch.
All sealed rod personality. From the face of Christ to the muscular gymnasts - all done some hands, who worked here.

The family collection of smalt Frolov is the largest such collections in the world. Even today it is stored in the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts.
