The museum of history of religion in Grodno Vladimir Sour just passed one of the churches in his latest discovery. He was given a small picture vid to mp3 of the restoration, and under it he found an old and more skillfully done.
Restoration of works of art, especially for the museum, he is engaged for 34 years. In Grodno on the facades of temples preserved wooden sculpture, which for several vid to mp3 centuries. Vladimir Sour put their hands to their recovery. He says:
"Does the repair of the facade of the church of the Bernardine. Since it withdrew figures of saints, which were in poor condition. Struhlevshaya wood. Large figures: two and a half meter and a half - the approximate dimensions. Polish restorers promised to restore them. But the facade was painted, and the authorities vid to mp3 require that forests have been removed, vid to mp3 saying that spoil urban views, standing in front of Drama. This meant that the figures vid to mp3 need to return back. And the baby was missing half of the face, arms and legs.
Had to do in the museum vid to mp3 courtyard tent, as in the studio, they would not fit, and it was impossible to even them through the window to carry. And then, horrible vid to mp3 smells of epoxy products. And I had disgusting breed, because grind with the primers and gesso - it is very dirty, smelly. But the tour was interesting. And I made three saints conservation: Helena with a cross, Bernard and Anthony with a baby. "
"Unfortunately, for decades vid to mp3 we do nothing at all, we begin to hurry. After all, someone will come and take away the forest officials said. Poles, which initially negotiated the priest, said that the restoration of each figure will take several years and will cost as a new Japanese vid to mp3 car, and they will need to export to Poland. vid to mp3 "
Sour: "What kind of church, when there can be said to have remained two walls (the rest of the boards). And now, when it comes to its repair, reconstruction, it means - let there builders. Father want to have bulbs on it. It can be considered a historical object. vid to mp3 And then, no one knows how it looked like this church. In her critical geomorphic condition because every year there are cracks. I think karst rocks is not so easy to fix. And if you add weight, and builders do, nothing good it does not expect. "
"Neman Grodno flowing into the gorge. And in a place where there is Kolozha most water pressure, there the river turns to the left. Water has an incredible power, and must take into account that the layers in the chalk hill Kalozha, easily eroded. No matter how much strengthened, Beach will still wash away. But we have a harbor, port (Neman creek opposite Kolozhi). Once here was allegedly river island. If the front of the church to pour a couple of dams of stones and make the island, breaking vid to mp3 the stream into two branches, and thereby weaken the water pressure, it might give the result. After the hill fortified with the king, now strengthened, but every year there are new cracks. I think that we can in the future to lose this. "
"Near the hamlet Kustovki Uniate Church in 1828 fell into the Neman, it undercut. Still say that the church stood and fell through the ground and formed a lake, which is now called the Church. vid to mp3 It was formed from the oxbow lake. Undercut so as to undercut Kolozhu in 1853. It is known that it was the church of St. Eustache. And what's interesting: the iconostasis had to disassemble, and he is now in Dubna church. " vid to mp3
"Every year in the spring, in the flood, when the river cut bluff, then drops to a dozen houses, but the people have time to move out. To stop this, began to adjust direction. But unearthed understand dug direct channel (clearly seen on the satellite image from the internet) to keep the water in a different direction - and threw a few years ago, unfinished work, ran out of money. "
"What I'm most impressed then - that Karatkevich not too lazy to write to me twice, and I have these letters. I do not think that was friends with him, but drank vodka with Vladimir Semenovich. I know that he was very fond of Grodno. When he asked - where are you, man, hiking, - I said of Dubno - he immediately took a picture vid to mp3 of the Dubna church, said: I was there! Was in my school. In my opinion, Karatkevich belonged to the second, for which there was such a place in Belarus, which they would not justify their feet. I already drew, gave him his picture - "King Stach gives soul to the devil" was called. Where is the picture that her fate, I do not know.
