Russian icon In Thee Rejoices XIX century 50x40 cm.
Ancient icon from the late 1800s, from central Russia. It measures 51.5x45 cm and is painted on a specially prepared rectangular wooden base.This image is called 'All of Creation Rejoice in Thee', referring to the Hymn to the Virgin sung on the Sundays of Lent after the consecration that recites 'in you every creature rejoices, full of grace'. This is because the Virgen is a source of joy for all creation, men and animals and angels alike, taking on a cosmic dimension.We therefore see in the icon how the blue circle that encloses Mary and the Child seated on the radiant throne is its structural core, around which saints, prophets, apostles and virgins gather and venerate her. In the background, there is an elaborate white temple full of turquoise arches and domes, surrounded by paradisiacal vegetation.The Rejoice icon has a symmetrical setting and is characterized by the reverse perspective of the throne, in which, by moving the vanishing point to the front, the image seems to come from infinity.This precious ancient Russian icon is delivered accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and export documents.
