Description: This large Russian Orthodox icon, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, magnificently portrays the Resurrection of Christ surrounded by the twelve major liturgical feasts. These feasts, pivotal to the Orthodox liturgical year, include the Nativity of Mary, the Exaltation of the Cross, the Ascension, and Pentecost. Unique to Russian iconography, the cycle also incorporates the Old Testament Trinity, the Presentation of Mary, the Annunciation, and the Dormition, among others. This intricate composition, measuring 53 x 44 cm (21 x 17.5 in), is painted on wood and adorned with gilded accents, enhancing its rich decorative appeal. The four corners are embellished with miniature portrayals of the Evangelists, their vivid colors and chrysography-detailed drapery adding to the icon's splendor. The reverse side features two structural struts for stability. Age-related wear, such as edge chipping, minor color loss, and gilding rubs, aligns with the artifact's age and does not diminish its visual or historical significance. Despite these marks of time, the icon remains a striking and beautiful piece, exemplifying a treasured tradition in Russian ecclesiastical art.
