Their tombs are now one of the focal points of the interior along with majestic iconostases. This composition features a stunning scene that has an aged feeling to it. Muted colors mixed with moderate amounts of gold paint and mother-of-pearl add the perfect touch to this detailed and realistic composition, created by Shevalkin of Fedoskino.
