Russian orthodox icon Virgin Clemente painted gold background 14x10 cm.
The painted Russian icon is a faithful copy of one of the most famous original archetypes of the ''Clementary Virgin'' of the 16th century.it is made and painted by hand. it is a unique piece, according to the principles of the Byzantine-Russian school of icons.The Mother of God icon is made on a 14x10 cm board of solid linden wood and plated with gold leaf.The effect that we try to achieve on the figure is the one defined as ''craquelé'', simulating the ancient effect, like something that feels and undergoes the signs of passing time.The background is golden and the Madonna's mantle is deep red.The iconographic typology is that of the Madonna of Tenderness: this is because the face of the child Jesus and the face of the Virgin are close and united, underlining the mother-child love, and also because the face of the Madonna is worried, since it is already aware of the fate that will await their child.The Tenderness icon is delivered in a box, also made of solid linden wood and a stamped guarantee certificate and a hook for hanging it are attached to the back of the icon.
