Description from the seller
Russian Orthodox icon of the type “Feasts” (Menaion) - Russia, 19th century
Tempera and gold leaf on a wooden panel
Rare Russian Orthodox icon of the “Feasts” type, presenting a significant cycle of scenes from the life of Christ, the Virgin, and the main liturgical feasts of the Orthodox Church. The different compositions are accompanied by inscriptions in Church Slavonic and rendered in a traditional palette with red, ochre, and green highlights.
This icon constitutes a fine example of 19th-century Russian production, intended for private devotion while offering a rich iconographic synthesis of the Orthodox liturgical calendar.
Condition: wear, craquelure, small losses and ancient restorations, in keeping with age. The ensemble presents a beautiful patina and good legibility of the scenes.
Photos are an integral part of the object description and complete the presentation. They allow one to appreciate its condition and features. Please examine them carefully before any commitment.
The item will be carefully packed and shipped with a tracking number to ensure fast and secure delivery.
