EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of a 17th-century Russian icon titled "Christ in Majesty (Saviour of the World)". Painted with tempera on panel, this masterpiece is a testament to the rich artistic tradition of Russia. The image depicts Jesus Christ seated majestically, surrounded by an aura of divine light known as an aureola. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing the serene expression and compassionate gaze of Christ. With an open book resting on his lap, symbolizing wisdom and knowledge, this iconic representation exudes a sense of spiritual enlightenment. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns used in this painting reflect the influence of Asian art on Russian culture during that period. This fusion creates a unique visual language that speaks to both Eastern and Western sensibilities. Housed within a private collection, this rare find offers viewers an opportunity to delve into religious themes prevalent in Christian iconography. Its historical significance lies not only in its age but also in its ability to transcend time and connect believers across generations. As we contemplate this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the enduring power of art to inspire faith and evoke profound emotions. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these timeless works continue to captivate our hearts and minds with their beauty and spirituality
