Splendid Russian Icon depicting "Pokrov" ------------
(The Protection of the Mother of God) ---------
Egg tempera on wood panel. ----------
Russia, city of Moscow, late 18th century --------------
The pictorial level of this rare and fascinating Icon, featuring the Virgin, is astonishing both for the multitude of characters present and for the miniaturistic precision that distinguishes every detail.---
All the details are described in an excellent manner, and despite the great concentration of depictions, the scenography stands out for a harmonious arrangement of the various images among the magnificent architectures.----
Finally, the chromatic range presents an incredible sequence of colors, combined in a kaleidoscope of contrasting but perfectly blended shades.------
Large size panel -------
Excellent state of preservation.
