About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This large antique icon depicts the Dormition of the Most Holy Mother of God, a central subject in Orthodox sacred art. The work is distinguished by its choral composition and rich pictorial detail, which testify to a profound iconographic tradition. Painted on a wooden panel, the icon features tempera painting with gold highlights that enhance the halos and details of the robes. The central scene depicts the sleeping Virgin surrounded by the apostles and Christ, who receives her soul. The panel features widespread craquelure, a sign of its age and the work's authenticity, with Cyrillic inscriptions at the top. The overall condition reflects the object's age, with a natural patina and signs of aging that enhance its historical appeal. The wooden frame at the back features traditional cross-bracing, typical of ancient iconographic craftsmanship. This is a large work, measuring 52 x 46 cm. This icon represents a piece of great spiritual and historical value, ideal for collectors of sacred art or to enrich a room with an element of profound devotion and timeless beauty.
