Kazan was once home to a distinct school of iconography, which brought up many talented icon painters. The featured work is a fantastic example of the style typical for the iconographers belonging to the Kazan school. Distinctive dark tones imbue Saint Nicholas icon with solemn seriousness and profound privacy. Unfortunately, the master’s name was long lost to time. The piece is now held in the collection of the Petko Zadgorski Art Gallery of Burgas in Bulgaria.

Palekh was the center of religious art in 19th-century Russia. It is where a unique iconographic tradition was developed. Icons that depicted the scene of the Resurrection — the Harrowing of Hades were especially popular with Orthodox believers of all social backgrounds at the time. Pieces created in Palekh were distinguished by the highly detailed and complex centerpiece surrounded by the border scenes with the Feasts of the liturgical year and the figures of the Four Evangelists in the corners. This particular icon also has an interesting and unusual addition to the bottom tier – the Crucifixion scene, which points to the fact that it was painted for a private commissioner. Come learn more about this icon and the Palekh icon painting tradition on our website.

The hand-painted icon of the Iconostasis is a treasured piece of antique religious art, replicating the real iconostasis of the Moscow Kremlin’s Dormition Cathedral. Unlike early forms of this icon type, which consisted of only 3-4 tiers and were much lower, the given piece is comparably tall and includes six tiers. Each row features different historical events, prophecies, saints, Great Feasts, symbolic objects, and more. Russian Icon Collection is excited to own such an exceptional icon in our collection. Get to know more about it in our latest blog post.

The featured icons are painted by Michael Mirianashvili, a 36-year-old Georgian artist specializing in portrait art and icon painting. He first learned about iconography in his student years when the young painter became a member of a parish. At the time, the temple that he attended was being painted, which allowed Michael to meet a professional fresco painter and become his assistant. Nowadays, the iconographer aims to find more clients and sell his works globally.
