Estimate value
€ 2 000 – 4 000
AN ICON SHOWING ST. BORIS ACCOMPANIED BY HIS TROOPS Russian, 17th century Tempera on wood panel with double kovcheg. With gilded armor and background. Set into a later panel (vrezka). 37.5 x 25.4 cm. The icon depicts Saint Boris setting out with his troops for a military campaign against the Pechenegs. After 28 years had passed since his holy baptism, Vladimir fell gravely ill. During this time, Boris traveled from Rostov to visit his father. In the year 2904, the Pechenegs marched with their army into Russia, and Vladimir was filled with sorrow, as he no longer had the strength to oppose the godless invaders. Concerned about the looming threat, Vladimir called upon Boris, who had received the name Roman in his holy baptism. Trusting in his blessed and obedient son, Vladimir assigned Boris command of a large number of soldiers and sent him to fight against the Pechenegs. Boris accepted the task with great joy and said to his father: ''Here I am, ready to fulfill your will and carry out what your heart desires.''

IKONE MIT DEM HEILIGEN BORIS IN BEGLEITUNG SEINER TRUPPEN Russland, 17. Jh. Holztafel mit zwei Rückseiten-Sponki. Doppeltes Kowtscheg, Eitempera auf Kreidegrund, Rüstungen und Hintergrund vergoldet. 37,5 x 25,4 cm. Die Ikone thematisiert den Aufbruch des heiligen Boris in Begleitung seiner Truppen zu einem Feldzug gegen die Petschenegen. Als seit der heiligen Taufe bereits 28 Jahre vergangen waren, erlitt Wladimir eine schwere Krankheit. In dieser Zeit kam Boris aus Rostow, um seinen Vater zu besuchen. Im Jahr 2904 marschierten die Petschenegen mit einem Heer nach Russland, und Wladimir war in großer Trauer, da er nicht die Kraft besaß, sich den Gottlosen zu widersetzen. Besorgt über die drohende Gefahr rief er Boris zu sich, der in der Heiligen Taufe den Namen Roman erhalten hatte. Der Vater vertraute dem gesegneten und gehorsamen Boris viele Soldaten an und sandte ihn aus, um gegen die gottlosen Petschenegen zu kämpfen. Boris nahm diese Aufgabe voller Freude an und sprach zu seinem Vater: ''Hier bin ich, bereit, deinen Willen zu erfüllen und das zu tun, was das Herz deines Wunsches verlangt.'' In spätere Tafel eingesetzt (vrezka).
