Add a review about the wooden Resurrection Church in Ples

The wooden Resurrection Church in Plyos has another, poetic name - "Above Eternal Peace", as Isaac Levitan immortalized it on the same cloth of 1894. This small but picturesque church, as if rushing upwards with a sharp roof with a small onion on a quadrangular pedestal, stands on the once Petropavlovsk mountain, and now - Mount Levitan, in the middle of an old, almost overgrown cemetery.

For a long time there was no church on the mountain , while in the Plyos did not open the Levitan house museum, which made you pay attention to another empty Levitan's place.

If you look closely at the church in the picture, you can see that it is different from what we see on Mount Levitan. The fact is that this is really another structure. At one time Levitan was fascinated by the Peter and Paul Church, which used to be in the same place, but burned to the ground in 1903. Let the fire and took away the monument of architecture of the 17th century, but it remained forever imprinted in Russian art.

Cloth "Above Eternal Peace" Isaak Levitan wrote under the sketch "Wooden church in Ples at the last rays of the sun". So the artist combined the landscape image of Lake Udomlya near Vyshniy Volochkom and the church in Plyos.
The history of one masterpiece. Isaac Levitan. "Over the eternal rest"

For a long time on the mountain there was no church, while in Plyos did not open the Levitan house museum, which made you pay attention to another empty Levitan's place.

Then, in 1982, the place of the burnt Petropavlovsk church was brought to the same age as the "sister" - a wooden Resurrection Church built in the village of Bilyukovo, Ivanovo region in 1699 and representing a church of a cage type with a roof in the form of a wedge.

More than a hundred years have passed since Isaak Levitan came to Plyos and admired its beauties, but from the mountain, which is now named after him, and where the wooden Resurrection Church still stands, a picturesque view of the Mother Volga opens up.
