St. Volodymyr Cathedral

The Iconostasis

The Iconostasis (icon screen) of the Cathedral, designed by the architect G. Kodak was installed in 1952. Its icons were painted by three artists — W. Balas, M. Dmytrenko and I. Kubarsky. These artists were assisted by P. Sydorenko, also the painter-portraitist who painted the official portrait of Metropolitan Vasiliy. In 1953, the same artists completed the painting of the interior. Painted in the ‘Cossack Baroque’ style, it depicts the traditional and typical style of many Ukrainian church interiors.
