@urban Images of saints go into <#507037021827497984>

This is actually wrong

Images of saints are considered art and don't fit the <#507037021827497984> idea

This is actually correct.

There is no way this isn't true.

Just as there is no way Dick Cheney isn't a saint.

Mods with double chromosomes aside, here is some actual art.

Church of Saint Sava in Belgrade

Invested by Putin <:chad:508484033513259028>

The Russian Academy of Arts under the guidance of Nikolay Mukhin is currently working on the internal decoration. <:chad:508484033513259028>

The total painted area of the dome is 1,230 m2 (13,200 sq ft). It is one of the largest curved area decorated with the mosaic technique and when the work is completely finished, Saint Sava will be the largest church ornamented this way. <:chad:508484033513259028>

It is one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world and ranks among the largest church buildings in the world. <:chad:508484033513259028>

Ever notice how Mosques look just like Orthodox Cathedrals sans icons and images?

Almost like the Muzzies stole all their architecture from the Byzantines or something

Because thats what they did

"Waah waah, cultural appropriation!"

Hazrat Sultan Mosque, Kazakhstan, Astana

You have some weird tastes in architecture

Do you like anything besides Soviet modern architecture and Islamic stuff?

Not to mention that Soviet Neoclassicism is called Neoclassicism for a reason.

Not to mention that the images posted here are not indicative of the entire spectrum of my architectural interests.

So dunno what's your point really is.

Because the Soviet Union is gay and Soviet architecture is gay
