Description from the seller
This lot is part of my special auction of religious objects. Take a look at the others as well: who knows, you might find the piece that’s missing from your collection or the perfect one to start a collection!
On this item:
Polish icon, entirely hand-painted according to the Russian iconographic tradition, depicting the Madonna of Tenderness (Umilenie), by Józef Marek Borkowski. Kraków, Poland, late 20th century
Particularly evocative is the carved wooden frame shaped like a reliquary, which enhances the painting. The warm golden tones, the dense craquelure, and the intentionally aged patina give the work the charm of historical icons.
On the reverse, original label of the iconographer Józef Marek Borkowski of Kraków, with indication of the technique and the awards obtained in artistic exhibitions in the eighties.
In overall excellent condition. Overall dimensions 40x27 cm.
*In the same auction another icon by the same artist is offered. An interesting opportunity for those who wish to admire or collect both works.
Adequate packaging and fast shipping.
