Description: This school of icon painting is characterized by a strict and unwavering adherence to medieval canon. The Syzran icon absorbed features characteristic of 15th-16th century iconography.

This is a narrative icon, where each figure has its own meaning, which can be understood with knowledge of iconographic language and the symbolism of colors. Despite its miniature size, each face in the composition has its own emotional mood. Syzran is one of the most serious Old Believer schools of icon painting. The palette is rich, the colors pure and vibrant.
One of the unmistakable attributes that will help distinguish this icon from others - is the intricate, exquisitely executed ribbon running along the perimeter, which immediately helps us understand what school is in front of you.

Reverse perspective: The observer is not outside, but inside the room.
