Quadripartite icons, more commonly known as four-part icons, were a good way to combine several images on one panel. In the featured picture, you can see a classic example of such a type of holy painting. Made with egg tempera and silver on wood, it is a depiction of the Mother of God. Such a legacy was left to us by an anonymous icon painter from Chernihiv Region in the late 18th century. Nowadays, it is held at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art in Eugene, Oregon.
