L'architecture monastique du XVIe siècle et l'incarnation du sacré aux îles Solovki. Au cours de la seconde moitié du XVIe siècle, le monastère de la Transfiguration, construit sur la Grande île des Solovki, dans la mer Blanche, se dota des moyens techniques et physiques nécessaires pour mettre en chantier d'importants projets architecturaux, comprenant l'église principale de la Transfiguration et de solides remparts de pierre. Cet essor était dû à l'action d'un homme particulièrement doué et dynamique, l'higoumène Filipp, qui deviendra plus tard métropolite de l'Église de Russie et sera finalement victime de son conflit tragique avec Ivan le Terrible. Fort du soutien de Novgorod et d'autres villes du nord, ainsi que de celui de Moscou, Filipp démarra un ambitieux programme de construction et d'amélioration qui allait transformer une grande partie de la Grande île des Solovki durant quatre décennies. L'article examine les sources et le style de ces édifices monastiques typiques du XVIe siècle, édifices qui forment l'un des plus grands ensembles architecturaux de la Russie.
