Item description from the seller
Russian icon painting - Natalia Mayorova
Byzantine icons appeared in Russia together with sacred books and ministers of the new faith. According to their model, Russian masters began to create their own. Of course, the Byzantine canon, rooted in Russian soil, could not remain unchanged for a long time. He transformed and absorbed into a new tradition - with colors, names and images. Since the XI century, the originality of Russian icon painting has become more and more noticeable. Massive, heavy figures, sharp lines, contrasts of color and chiaroscuro. Less refined lightness, but more power, stronger emotional impact. The album includes works by icon painters, starting with Andrei Rublev, Theophanes the Greek and Dionysius
