Measurements cm. 90 X 70
Excellent condition
Magnificent Russian icon of large dimensions and exceptional beauty with an infinite series of Marian representations and Saints of the Orthodox liturgical calendar.
The creation of the hundreds of figures that fill the entire golden surface of the panel certainly required a great deal of effort from the artist who created this important work.
Starting from the center of the Icon, 12 scenes from the life of Christ and the Gospels can be observed around the scene of his Resurrection.
Further to the sides are arranged the menologies of the 12 months of the year with the complete representation of the multitude of Saints commemorated each day of the year, including all the fixed holidays of the calendar.
Finally, on the four sides of the panel, arranged in a double row, an infinite series of images of the Virgin with Child and other icons of the Russian tradition.
It is a work of exceptional beauty but also of great artistic and religious interest.
Excellent state of conservation.
The panel is of extraordinary dimensions and is divided into three vertical sections. For this reason, it was necessary to proceed with their fixing by inserting metal straps into the back to keep them securely joined and avoid their detachment due to the typical convex curvature of the panel.
