This icon is an amazing monument of Russian iconic baroque. The brightest color palette with many pigments. The talented Master was able to create the grandeur of the event depicted on the icon with the language of colors. Anxious various of purple color on the background - amazing.
Michael's clothes repeat the armor of the Roman commander. A short tunic over which a embossed shell with shoulder pads and a loincloth is worn. Very "stylish" inscriptions are located on the sides in a column. The letters are made with polished gold leaf. This icon is painted in mixed technique, the face is made in many layers. The icon has the highest artistic level: masterful external author skills and its internal, sacred content.
This is a unique icon.
