SELTENE UND GROSSFORMATIGE IKONE 'WAHRHAFT GEZIEMEND IST ES, DICH SELIG ZU PREISEN' Russland, um 1800 Verbund zweier Bretter mit zwei Rückseiten-Sponki. Kowtscheg, Eitempera auf Kreidegrund, Goldgrund. 40,8 x 36,7 cm. Das obere linke Bildfeld zeigt die auf einem reich ornamentiertem Goldthron sitzende Gottesmutter Platytera mit dem Christusknaben vor einer Aureole. Zu beiden Seiten flankieren sie Engel. Zu ihren Füßen huldigen der Gottesmutter zwei Gruppen von Heiligen, Aposteln sowie Johannes der Vorläufer und Königen aus dem Alten Testament. Das rechte obere Bildfeld zeigt mit nahezu identischem Bildaufbau die stehende Gottesmutter Blacherniotissa. Am unteren Bildrand stehen zwei Gruppen von Aposteln. Das untere rechte Bildfeld - ebenfalls die Bildaufteilung der oberen Darstellungen aufgreifend - zeigt die thronende Gottesmutter mit dem Christusknaben flankiert von Joachim und Anna. Zu beiden Seiten und zu ihren Füßen Heilige, Märtyrer und Kirchenväter. Das linke untere Bildfeld zeigt die stehende Gottesmutter vor einer Strahlenaureole. Die einzelnen entourierenden Felder zeigen die neun Engelshierarchien nach Pseudo-Dionysios Areopagita. Dieses Ikonenthema visualisiert einen Teil der Liturgie zum Heiligengedenken, bei dem der Chor besonders die Würde der Gottesmutter hervorhebt. Dabei werden die einzelnen Abschnitte des Hymnus (1. Wahrhaft geziemend ist es, dich selig zu preisen, Gottesgebärerinin ... 2. Ewigseelige und ganz Unbefleckte und Mutter unseres Gottes... 3. ...geehrter als die Cherubim und unvergleichlich herrlicher als die Seraphim ... 4. die du unversehrt Gott, das Wort, geboren hast, in Wahrheit Gottesgebärerin, dich preisen wird) je in einem Feld wiedergegeben. Zwei Randheilige. Kleinere Farbverluste, min. restauriert
