Paintings from the 19th century found in an ancient chapel in Tobolsk For a long time the historical painting of the Alexander Chapel was hidden under a layer of lime. It has already been cleaned and the first stage of the restoration is over. Beneath the plastering, details of the previous interior were revealed: the walls were painted to resemble pink marble, the windows and pillars were decorated with ornaments, and the blue vault was decorated with metal stars. In front of the entrance was a small iconostasis.
