Mother of God from Sorrows
In the 15th Century this composition that points to the suffering of Christ was often expanded into various icons. The originating icon is attributed to Ritzos from Candia on Crete.
Grootte 28x 35 cm ●
The Archangel Michaël
This is the most “icon-painterly” work of Ushakov, but not without certain features of eclecticism (figure and background). It shows a certain loss of creative imagination characteristic of court artists while the technique of execution remains highly refined. Whom the small figure on the left represents is not known.
The icon is from the Tolmachevskaya-Sosnovskaya collection.
Size 28x 35 cm
Annunication
The announcement of Gabriel to Maria that she will be pregnant and give birth to a son. The explanation can be found in Luke 1 verse 26-38. This icon is usually found on King doors.
