Item Details
Description
Large, copper-cast icon of the Smolensk Mother of God in an icon case. Betrays the canonical, semi-figured image of the Mother of God with a baby in her arms. The rare casting format preserves the high-quality detailing of the clothes, the gestures of the saints, the foliage and floral patterns on the margins of the icon and Mary’s halo. The color program of the monument is interesting: combining the natural nature of the blue, endless sky and green organic foliage in the background of the icon. And also yellow, consider the golden color, blooming on the dark nimbus of the Virgin Mary. White, as a sign of purity, forms the titles, the cross-shaped halo of Jesus and the flowers in the margins of the icon. Copper-bronze alloy. Hot enamels 5 colors. Good original condition. Origin: From a family of Old Believers in Latgale. Russia. 19th century. Dimensions of the icon: 26x22 cm. Size of the icon case: 75x60 cm.
