About the Item
Russia / 19th Century / Religious Icon Christ Pantocrator / wood / Antique
A striking 19th-century Russian religious icon depicting Christ Pantocrator, finely hand-painted in tempera on a wooden panel. The image presents Christ in a traditional frontal pose, blessing with His right hand and holding the open Gospels in His left, a powerful and enduring symbol of divine authority and wisdom in Orthodox Christian art.
Executed with deep, solemn expression and rich coloration, the icon retains its original palette of warm ochres, reds, and blues, now beautifully softened by time. The surface bears an authentic craquelure and wear consistent with age, enhancing its historical depth and devotional character. This piece exemplifies the spiritual artistry of Russian iconography, offering both aesthetic beauty and profound cultural significance.
Good antique condition with surface wear and age patina appropriate to its history. A soulful and historically resonant devotional artwork and a fine example of traditional Russian icon painting from the 19th century.
Background:
The word Pantocrator is of Greek origin meaning "ruler of all". Christ Pantocrator is an icon of Christ represented full or half-length and full-faced. He holds the book of the Gospels in his left hand and blesses with his right hand. The icon portrays Christ as the Righteous Judge and the Lover of Mankind, both at the same time. The Gospel is the book by which we are judged, and the blessing proclaims God's loving kindness toward us, showing us that he is giving us his forgiveness.
Although ruler of all, Christ is not pictured with a crown or scepter as other kings of this world. The large open eyes look directly into the soul of the viewer. The high curved forehead shows wisdom. The long slender nose is a look of nobility, the small closed mouth, the silence of contemplation.
It is the tradition of the church to depict "God is with us" by having the a large Pantocrator icon inside of the central dome, or ceiling of the church.
