Lot 190 | Gottesmutter Pokrov
Gottesmutter Pokrov
Russische Ikone, Tempera / Holz, 19. Jahrhundert
27 x 22 cm

In der oberen Bildhälfte ist die Vision des hl. Andreas (gest. 936), eines sog. Narren in Christo, dargestellt. Zusammen mit seinem Schüler Epiphanias ist er rechts unten auf der Ikone zu sehen. Beide besuchten einen nächtlichen Gottesdienst in der Blachernenkirche zu Konstantinopel, in welcher als kostbarste Reliquie das Maphorion der Gottesmutter aufbewahrt wurde. Während der Liturgie sah Andreas die Gottesmutter und viele Heilige aus der Königstüre der Ikonostase hervortreten. Die Muttergottes nahm ihren Schleier vom Kopf, hielt ihn ausgebreitet über die Gläubigen und betete für den Schutz des Volkes. Diese Vision war die Grundlage für das in der russischen Kirche seit dem 13. Jahrhundert am 1. Oktober gefeierte Fest der Gottesmutter Pokrow (=Schutz). Am gleichen Tag hat auch der hl. Romanos, der bekannteste Hymnendichter der Ostkirche, seinen Festtag. Deshalb ist er unten auf der Ikone abgebildet. Auf einem Ambo stehend singt der Diakon Romanos in der Hagia Sophia vor dem Kaiserpaar Leo und Zoe und dem Patriarchen Tarasios den Weihnachtskontakion. Zustand: Am oberen Rand ist links ein Teil des Untergrunds abgeplatzt. Provenienz: 1987 Galerie Nydegg, Bern; Privatsammlung Bern
