Description from the seller
Ancient Russian Icon – Our Lady of Kazan – Late 18th Century
Origin: Russia
Era: Late 18th Century
Subject: Our Lady of Kazan (Kazanskaya Bogomater)
Technique: Tempera on panel, gilded background
Dimensions: 27.5 × 23 cm
Description
Beautiful and ancient Russian icon from the late 18th century depicting the Mother of God of Kazan, one of the most venerated figures of Orthodox iconography.
The Virgin, with an elongated face and a deeply contemplative expression, gently tilts her head toward Christ Emmanuel, depicted beside her, clothed in a green tunic and an orange-red mantle.
The work stands out for the quality of its execution, notably the treatment of complexions, the subtle luminous highlights of the faces, and the ornamental richness of the Virgin’s maphorion.
The deep reds and browns of the garments contrast harmoniously with the ochre and gold tones of the background, creating a composition of great spiritual intensity.
The painting shows particularly careful work on the decorative borders, the folds of the garments, and facial details.
The panel features a central sunken field (kovtcheg), a traditional characteristic of many old Russian icons.
A beautiful ancient Russian icon, appealing for the finesse of its faces, its warm palette, and its devotional character.
Dimensions: 27.5 × 23 cm.
