СКАЧАТЬ wall-paintings we only see lavra (indigo) and blue with a greenish tinge. In Greek icons, dark blue is used before the end of the fourteenth century; in Russia it only appears in the sixteenth. Both light and dark blue are called azure (Iázor’): vissón and is the name for a dark lilac shot with blue: golubéts, a pale blue colour like modern cobalt, only appears during the sixteenth century, and in backgrounds is a sign of western influence.

      Egg tempera on plaster on wood, 87.5 × 66 cm.

      A very interesting colour is prázelen’,[57] which includes not only green but various dark blue tones and indigo. It is the chief mark of Nóvgorod painting in the fifteenth century, being used freely in place of light blue in Greek draperies. It is noticeable that the very word is a corruption of the Greek term used by the Byzantines for the green of grass and the juice obtained from leeks, which has a green colour with a soft brown shade. This green colour has no body in it; it is liquid and transparent and combines very well with brown (it corresponds to terra verde). It is this colour which has most part in the highlights of draperies and in reflexes complementary to brick and chestnut browns.

I retain this the usual translation of Sobór, literally a ‘bringing together’; hence (1) a Synod or Great Council of Church or State; (2) an Assembly of holy persons joining in praise round the Virgin, an Archangel, etc.; (3) a service conducted by several clergy; (4) a Collegiate Church and so the principal churches of towns or monasteries, but not a Bishop’s seat, e.g. the five Sobors in the Kremlin at Moscow, the little ancient church of Spas na Boric (Our Saviour in the Pine-wood), the Great Uspénski Sobor (Dormition), Blagovêshchenski (Annunciation), Arkhángelski with the graves of the old Tsars, and Voznesénski (Ascension) with the graves of the Tsaritsas.
