Lot 1135 | AN IMPORTANT AND VERY FINE ICON NARRATING THE NATIVITY OF CHRIST
AN IMPORTANT AND VERY FINE ICON NARRATING THE NATIVITY OF CHRIST Central Russian, Palekh, circa 1800 Tempera on wood panel. Finely executed in great detail on a gold ground. 35.7 x 31 cm. This remarkably detailed icon shows the Nativity of Christ in the cave above, surrounded by its subsequent episodes: at the upper corners the coming of the Magi led by the star. The hills act as natural divisions between the represented scenes. At the left border the Adoration of the Magi, at the right the flight into Egypt. The lower part depicting the Magi at Herod's palace and lastly the Massacre of the Innocents. This panel is unique in the Orthodox artistic production, because of the rarity of its subject and the high quality of its painting, as exemplified on the elaborate garments of the figures. Minor areas of retouching.
SEHR FEINE IKONE MIT DEN GESCHEHNISSEN UM DIE GEBURT CHRISTI Zentralrussland, Palech, um 1800 Verbund zweier Zypressenholz-Bretter mit zwei profilierten Rückseiten-Sponki (einer verloren). Eitempera auf Kreidegrund, Goldgrund. 35,7 x 31 cm. Vielfigurige und detailreiche Erzählung des Weihnachtsgeschehens über das gesamte Bildfeld, getrennt durch die felsige Landschaftskulisse. Die oberen Ecken zeigen die berittenen drei Magier, die dem Stern folgen. Mittig erscheint die Gottesmutter, vor ihr das Kind in der Krippe, das von drei Engeln angebetet wird. Der linke Rand widmet sich der Anbetung der drei Magier, der rechte Rand zeigt die Flucht nach Ägypten. Die unteren Ecken thematisieren den Befehl und die Ausführung des bethlehemitischen Kindermordes sowie die Tötung Zacharias im Tempel. Die Darstellung symbolisiert das Eintreten Christi in die Welt und die Epiphanie seiner göttlichen Natur, die Rettung aus dem Willen Gottes und den von Gott gespendeten Trost angesichts von Macht, Grausamkeit und Tod. Seltene Ikone mit Freude zum Detail in feinster Qualität. Punktuelle Einstimmungen.
