Russia

Meer over het boek

In fascinating panoramic photographs Fritz Dressler introduces us to the landscapes, centres of the arts, villages and people of Russia. With a foreword by Klaus Bednarz, the book is further enriched by reproductions of major works of art. The many faces and aspects of the country are illuminated in a piece by Hans-Peter Riese, with his intimate knowledge of Russia. Heiderose Engelhardt, who has also provided the glossary of art history, uses typical examples of religious architecture to explain the origins of early Russian art. Vladislav Govorukhin has compiled a richly detailed and informative glossary describing the towns and cities and their most important monuments.
