Moscow or Mstera. 1900-1917.
Size: 36 x 30.5 cm
Technique & Material: Wood, gesso, gold leaf, enamel.
Description: An unique icon in all aspects. It is like an expensive jewerly which is made flawlessly. This icon is fabulous and fantastic, such was Russian Art Nouveau. However, despite the amazing decorativeness, the icon is written within the canon. Full-length Guardian Angel with a sword in his left hand and with a spear in his right.
State of preservation: perfect. There were no restorations done. The icon was cleaned from the slightly darkened varnish of top coat. It is no more than a hundred years old. Drying oil preserved the beauty as it is covered it with a film.
Exhibitions: The first international Moscow Salon of Antiques and Fine Arts. The icon travelled to Moscow, because we were very much asked to exhibit it in order to "strengthen" their wall of icons in the style of Modern (or Art Nuovo or New Russian style).
Provenance: Private collection.
