Description from the seller
«Resurrection of Christ» (Voskresenie Khristovo) — «The Resurrection of Christ».
Christ resurrected appears in the center, standing on the tomb, with his right hand raised in a gesture of blessing.
He carries a standard of the Resurrection, white, with the golden cross: it is the symbol of Christ, conqueror of death.
To the right is the angel seated beside the empty tomb, who announces to the women that Christ has risen.
In the foreground appear the myrrh-bearing women (the women who brought myrrh) who came to the tomb at dawn.
In the background, on the hill, the three crosses of Golgotha are discernible, recalling the Crucifixion.
The open tomb and the wrappings are references to the gospel account of the Resurrection.
An interesting feature
This depiction is not the traditional Byzantine composition of the Anastasis or Descent of Christ into Hell, in which Christ is seen pulling Adam and Eve from Hades. Here it represents rather the visible Resurrection before the tomb, a composition heavily influenced by Western religious painting and common in Russian icons of a relatively late period.
