| Title | Prokhorov Chapel in the Novodevichy Convent in Moscow, with the Cathedral of the Virgin of Smolensk in the background |
| Notes | The Prokhorov Chapel was built in 1911. The Cathedral of the Virgin of Smolensk was designed by the architect Aristotele Fieravanti and built in 1524-1525. The prototype of this cathedral was the Moscow Cathedral of the Assumption, a fact which is evident in the similar division of the walls into vertical sections, in the cathedral's five domes, and in other details. |
