The New Jerusalem Monastery in Istra

The painting depicts the New Jerusalem Church on a frosty winter morning in the city of Istra. The monastery seems to dissolve into the thicket of snow-covered trees. Every branch is shrouded in frost, and everything is covered with a white blanket of snow, as if a natural veil has gently embraced the holy abode. Among the snow-white forest, the walls are barely visible, with only the golden domes peeking out, reflecting the first rays of the rising sun.
