Ancient restored icon painted on panel Kazan Mother of God 32x27 cm

Ancient restored icon painted on panel Kazan Mother of God 32x27 cm. This precious orthodox icon portrays the Madonna of Kazan with the Child Jesus, both characterized by green robes and red cloaks. The history of this sacred image begins with its discovery in Kazan, revealed to a nine-year-old girl through apparitions of the Virgin, who indicated the hiding place of the icon buried by Christians during the Tatar occupation. In 1612, in the context of the battle to liberate Moscow from Polish rule, Kusma Minin and Prince Dimitri brought a copy of this icon to the battlefield, relying on its protective power. Our Lady of Kazan was credited with the liberation of Moscow, elevating the icon to a symbol of protection for the Romanov dynasty and one of Russia's greatest spiritual treasures. The growing importance of the icon over the centuries led to the construction of the Kazan Cathedral on the famous Nevski Prospect in the early 19th century. This Kazan icon is therefore an element of profound devotional and historical value, representing a significant chapter in Russian faith and culture.Subjects: Mother of God of Kazan.Origin: Russia.Technique: Egg tempera.Materials: Wood - levkas.Measurements: 32x27 cm.Period: 19th century, restored, 21st century.This Our Lady of Kazan icon is shipped together with a box set and an appraisal carried out by an expert.
