Ukrainischer Barock
Ukrainian Baroque style emerged in Ukraine during the rule of the Cossacks. For this reason, it is also sometimes known as Cossack Baroque.
The major differences between Ukrainian Baroque and the Baroque of Western Europe are moderate ornamentation, and simpler forms, and as such was considered more constructivist. Many barogue buildings in Ukrainian Baroque have been preserved, including several buildings in Kiev Pechersk Lavra and the Vydubychi Monastery in Kiev.
The best examples of baroque painting are the church paintings in the Holy Trinity Church of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra. Rapid development in engraving techniques occured during the Ukrainian Baroque period. Advances utilized a complex system of symbolism, allegories, heraldic signs, and sumptuous ornamentation.
Certain features of the Ukrainian baroque, such as pear-like and bud-like shapes of domes, were borrowed by a similar artistic movement in the Muscovite Russia, known as the Naryshkin baroque.
