Icon, Deesis and Saints elected with "Meritorious Madonna" (Dostoojno Jesti) - Wood - Second half 19th century
Fantastic icon of great size. Its subject is very rare. I think it's the first time that out of over 20000 icons in Catawiki auctions you see a Russian icon with this subject. A deesis with elected saints in presentation of Our Lady "Dostojno jesti". The history of the icons of the Mother of God "Dostojno jesti" is linked to the appearance in the Orthodox Church of a prayer named after this icon. The feast of the icon of the Mother of God is celebrated from 11 to 24 June. This icon represents the Madonna and Child in the centre. Preserved in excellent condition. The icon was displayed in the exhibition “Eikona: immagini sacre nelle icone della cultura ortodossa” at the Ducal Palace in Sassari. Dimensions: 44. 5x4. 34 cm, depth 2. 5 cm Photos are an integral part of this description. Shipping via express courier.
