Feodorovskaya Icon antique Russia XVIII century 30x20 cm.
Beautiful icon from the northern region of Russia in the middle of the 19th century on a wooden board measuring 31.5x27.2 cm with a raised frame. This icon depicts the Mother of God Fedorovskaya according to the canons of the miraculous icon 'Mother of God of Saint Theodore' of the Cathedral of the Dormition in Kostroma. This icon is revered for helping to defeat the Tatars on the Holy Lake, and played a pivotal role in the choice of Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov in 1613. Since then its history has been linked to the Romanov dynasty. This icon takes up the canons of 'Tenderness', with the Child Jesus leaning his cheek against the face of the Virgin and holding her with his arm. It is distinguished by Vladimir's Mother of God due to the little leg uncovered outside the garments. The face of the Mother is here full of love but also of concern, it shows how she is aware of the suffering that awaits her child. Here the Virgin is also a symbol of the Mother Church, in whose embrace it is possible to experience the fullness of love between God and man.This antique Russian icon of high artistic value comes with a certificate of authenticity, export document and a blue velvet case.
