Russian Cloisonne Gilt Brass Case.
Russian Cloisonne Gilt Brass Case. Estimated more than 50 yrs old. Russian visual artworks are similar in style with the ones from other eastern Slavic countries, like Ukraine or Belarus. As early as the 12th and 13th centuries Russia had its national masters who were free of all foreign influence, that of the Greeks on the one hand, and on the other hand that of the Lombard master-masons called in b Andrei Georgievich to build the Uspensky Cathedral in the city of Vladimir. Russia's relations with the Greek world were hampered by the Mongol invasion, and it is to the isolation arising from this that we must attribute the originality of Slavo-Russian ornamentation, which has a character of its own, quite unlike the Byzantine style and its derivative, the Romanesque.
