St. Petersburg Church(Church of the Spilled Blood)

Artist: Alfred Alexandrovich Parland
Title: St. Petersburg Church
Date: 1907
Medium: stone building
Provence: St. Petersburg, Russia

Description: This church is enormous and is brightly colored. The building has over 3 different takers and has soaring spceiling on the inside. The vivid colors rave from blue, green, yellow, and red. It has Severus doomed roof (with points at the top) and over 100 arches.

Analysis: All different types of shapes are used prominently is the building to give a geometric foundation. Triangle, squares, cylinders, circles are just some of the few shapes beautifully decorated and painted. When you make a building, the balance of tiers of actual ground-floor building has to be proportional. The church looks stable and all aligned in form. The patterns on the outside of the building range from color schemes to the number of windows. There was not one single color scheme used, but several reds, oranges, and yellows were used.

Interpretations and Judgement: The expressive intent of this building was meant to show the beauty of carefully created architecture. The gold dome roof are stably built with steel so they stay for a long amount of time. I think this is one of this most beautiful churches ever. The exterior of churches are not usually this vividly colored and do not have gorgeous patterns all around. I felt drawn to this building I hope to visit in the future some day.
