SEHR FEINE IKONE MIT DER AUFERSTEHUNG UND HÖLLENFAHRT CHRISTI Russland, 16. Jahrhundert Holztafel mit zwei Rückseiten-Sponki. Kowtscheg. Eitempera auf Kreidegrund, Nimben und Rand vergoldet. 31,7 x 26,9 cm. In der senkrechten Bildachse steht Christus in einer strahlenden Mandorla auf den zerbrochenen Türen des Hades und befreit die Vorväter (Adam, Eva, Jacob, Abraham, Isaac etc.). Er greift Adam am Handgelenk und zeigt mit der anderen Hand den Erlösten den Weg ins Paradies. Der Griff um das Handgelenk des Adam symbolisiert nicht nur die erlösende Befreiung, sondern auch die Gewährung des Schutzes. Die literarische Vorlage stammt von Nikodemus: Der König der Herrlichkeit 'streckte seine rechte Hand aus, ergriff den Urvater Adam und richtete ihn auf. Dann wandte er sich auch den übrigen zu und sprach: Her zu mir alle... denn seht, ich erwecke euch alle wieder durch das Holz des Kreuzes [.....]'. Im rechten Bildfeld steht der Auferstandene segnend in einer Aureole auf dem geöffneten Grab. Kleinere Einstimmungen.
