About the Item
Russia / 19th Century / Religious Icon of the Twelve Great Feasts / wood / Antique
A magnificent 19th-century Russian Orthodox icon depicting The Twelve Great Feasts, exquisitely hand-painted in tempera on a wooden panel. This richly detailed composition presents twelve scenes from the liturgical calendar surrounding a central depiction of the Resurrection of Christ, illustrating the key moments in the life of the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ.
Rendered in the traditional Russian style, the icon features a masterful arrangement of vivid colors, intricate gilded backgrounds, and finely delineated figures. The surrounding inscriptions are executed in Old Church Slavonic, enhancing the work’s authenticity and devotional character.
This piece exemplifies the deep spiritual symbolism and craftsmanship characteristic of Russian iconography in the 19th century. The surface shows an appealing patina and craquelure consistent with age, giving the work both aesthetic and historical depth.
Good antique condition with minor surface wear, craquelure, and age-appropriate patina. A remarkable devotional artwork and a superb example of 19th-century Russian ecclesiastical art, refined, vibrant, and spiritually resonant.
Background:
In Russian Orthodox iconography, there is a large array of festive icons that are highly revered and valued by the faithful. Such icons also serve as major decorative components of churches and monasteries. Russian religious icons depicting the Twelve Great Feasts are of special importance to the entire Orthodox world. They reveal the significant events in the lives of Jesus Christ and the Mother of God and are dedicated to the twelve principal Orthodox feasts.
Russian religious icons of the twelve feasts are commonly placed in the second row of the church iconostasis. These images are highly valued by Orthodox Christians. One prays with them asking for health, mental clearance, protection, as well as healing from bodily and mental ailments.
