Icon of Our Lady of Kazan, gold leaf, painted in Russian style, 12x10 in.
This precious icon depicts the Madonna and Baby Jesus side by side, following the Byzantine iconographic tradition, entirely hand-painted with extraordinary craftsmanship.
Mary is dressed in a red robe, symbolising love and sacrifice, while Jesus is wrapped in a white robe with delicate pink and orange hues, standing out intensely against the golden background. The background is hand-applied gold leaf, adding depth and luminous reflections to the image. Jesus, with his raised right hand, blesses the people: the fingers are positioned in the traditional gesture of blessing, with the ring finger and pinky finger united, symbolising the Trinity and the dual nature of Christ, human and divine.
The icon is protected by a transparent varnish, preserving the brilliance of colours and detail precision over time.
Dimensions: 11.8x9.8 in, thickness: 1.2 in.
Support: linden wood, meticulously prepared by hand.
A work of intense spirituality and refined beauty, ideal for those seeking an authentic and symbolic representation of the profound union between Mary and the Son, crafted with true artisan mastery.
