Description from the seller

Russian Icon – Anastasis (Christ's Descent into the Underworld)
Central Russia, ca. 1800–1825
Tempera on limewood with kovcheg, silvered background
Dimensions: 44.2 × 34.8 × 2.5 cm

Very beautiful and high-quality depiction of the “Anastasis” (Resurrection of Christ / Christ’s Descent into Hell). Christ stands on the broken gates of Hell and leads Adam out of the realm of death; beneath him the bound Hades.

With numerous Old Testament righteous figures as well as the side saints
St. Martyr Hypatius and St. Martyr Photios – probably the namesakes of the original patron.

Finely executed faces, harmonious composition, and a warm, classical palette of the early 19th century.

Original dovetail pins on the back.
Good, age-appropriate condition with authentic craquelure.

No shipping to the USA.
