EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite icon painted on glass, dating back to the 18th century Russian School. Measuring 21.5x18 cm, this artwork depicts a small group of people standing side by side in a posed manner. The central figures are Saint Nicholas, Saint Alexandra, and Mary Magdalene. With a vibrant red background as their backdrop, these three individuals are dressed in fantastical attire that reflects the early 20th-century fashion. The attention to detail is remarkable; each character's apparel and hand gestures are meticulously portrayed. Mary Magdalene's enchanting hand movement adds an air of mystery to the scene while Saint Nicholas blesses with his iconic gesture. The artist skillfully captures the essence of religious symbolism through this magical piece. The biblical references are evident as these holy figures from the New Testament come alive on glass canvas. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also provides insight into early twentieth-century Christian artistry and its decorative techniques. It transports us back in time to appreciate the craftsmanship and devotion behind such masterpieces. A true treasure for any art enthusiast or collector, this icon invites contemplation and admiration for its historical significance within Christianity and its artistic brilliance within Russian culture.
