About the Item
Russia / 1900 / Icon Intercession of the Theotokos / Paleg Tohrof / Wood Panel / Polychrome Tempera / Religious / Antique
This exquisite early-20th-century Russian icon presents a finely rendered depiction of the Intercession of the Theotokos, one of the most beloved feasts in the Eastern Orthodox tradition—particularly venerated in Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine. Painted around 1900 and attributed to the workshop of Paleg Tohrof, the piece embodies the elegance, luminosity, and spiritual depth characteristic of late Imperial Russian iconography.
The composition is richly detailed: the Virgin Mary stands elevated in a mandorla of radiant color, surrounded by saints, angels, and heavenly ranks, her protective veil unfurled as a symbol of divine shelter and intercession. Below, clergy and faithful figures gather in reverence, each delicately articulated with gilded haloes, ornate vestments, and the finely patterned architectural motifs typical of high-quality Russian ecclesiastical painting.
Executed in tempera on wood, the icon displays a masterful control of palette, deep reds, golds, and verdant greens, balanced by a warm, aged border that speaks to more than a century of devotional presence. The craftsmanship reflects a harmonious blend of liturgical narrative and decorative refinement, offering both aesthetic beauty and profound symbolic resonance.
A distinguished addition to any collection of Russian icons, religious art, or antique devotional objects, this piece encapsulates the spiritual ethos of the Intercession feast: the enduring belief in the Mother of God’s compassionate protection over humankind. Its historical and cultural significance, combined with its remarkable artistic quality, makes it an exceptional acquisition for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
