EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the ethereal beauty of Zenkov Cathedral in the evening, this stunning print transports you to Almaty, Kazakhstan. Also known as the Ascension Cathedral, this Russian Orthodox marvel stands proudly in Panfilov Park. Built entirely of wood without a single nail, it is a testament to architectural ingenuity and craftsmanship. Completed in 1907, the cathedral reaches an impressive height of 56 meters, making it one of the tallest wooden structures globally. Its historical significance extends beyond its religious purpose; after the Russian Revolution, it served as home to the Central State Museum of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic. However, through restoration efforts and with control returned to the Russian Orthodox Church in 1995, this magnificent structure was once again opened for religious services in 1997. The delicate details and intricate design elements are beautifully captured by Frans Sellies' lens. Allow yourself to be captivated by this enchanting image that showcases not only architectural brilliance but also highlights Kazakhstan's rich cultural heritage. Whether displayed on your wall or gifted to someone special, this print serves as a reminder of both past triumphs and enduring faith.
