The given Russian icon of the Resurrection consists of several tiers, including the Feast and Passion cycles with 28 border scenes in total. The implementation of popular iconographic schemes and highly-standardized painting style make it clear that the piece was created by masters of the icon-painting villages of the Vladimir region – Kholuy and Mstyora. The icon dates back to the end of the 19th century and features a complex iconographic composition that you can explore in greater detail on our blog.
