metadata.value: The article is about the decoration of the former Demidoffs’ house church in the villa of San
  Donato. A part of it is now located in the church of the Nativity of Christ and St. Nicholas
  the Thaumaturge in Florence (architect M. T. Preobrazhensky). The author has suggested the
  probable appearance of the house church in the villa of San Donato based on notes of contemporaries,
  analysis of the palace’s blueprints and the remaining elements of the decoration.
  The ecclesiastical purpose of the surviving building of the “Demidoffs ex-chapel” has been
  questioned and analyzed, based on D. Silvestri’s original sketches, from which it follows that
  this is the building of the Odeon — a concert and theater hall. Particular attention is paid to
  the carved decoration of the church, made in A. Barbetti’s workshop, to the iconostasis and
  the gallery of local and small icons. Local icons of the iconostasis and icons of the apostles executed
  in an academic manner by famous religious painter V. V. Vasilyev. However, the gallery
  of small icons of the second tier of the iconostasis and the doors-kiots is stylistically close to
  the icon-painting of the 17th century. Also, based on historical analysis and analysis of style,
  the author sets up a hypothesis that the gallery of small icons from Demidoffs’ church belong
  to “Nevyansk” or “Peshekhonovsk” icon-painting schools.
