Church of St. John the Baptist

From Moscowiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Five-tented Church of St John the Baptist in Kolomenskoye tentatively dated to 1547. Actually, the church's origin is enshrouded in mystery. Some say the masters were Italians, others assign it to Postnik Yakovlev, reputedly the author of St. Basil’s Cathedral on the Red Square. Whatever the truth may be, it is clear that the church represents a transitional stage between the Church of the Ascension and the famous 8-tented cathedral on the Red Square.
