| Gorodets is a very
old town on the Volga River near Nizhni Novgorod. The name derives from
the Russian diminutive for town (literally "small town", or
"smallville"). It was founded in 1152 by Grand Prince (Knyaz) Yuri
Dolgoruky who also founded Moscow (in 1147). Decorative painting on wood from Gorodets relies on folk motifs and lively primary colors. Please click on the image for a closer look.
