AN ICON SHOWING ST. GLEB AND THE STUMBLING HORSE Russian, 17th century Tempera on wood panel with double kovcheg. The haloes and background made of gold. Set into a later panel (vrezka). 34.5 x 25.6 cm. According to the legend of St. Gleb, after receiving the news of his father's death, he set out on a journey to Kyiv. During this journey, his horse suddenly stumbled, which was seen as a bad omen and a sign of his impending fate. This event symbolizes the misfortune awaiting Gleb, as he was soon murdered on the orders of his brother Sviatopolk. In iconography, the stumbling horse is often depicted to emphasize the foreboding of Gleb's imminent death and his inevitable martyrdom.

IKONE MIT DEM HEILIGEN GLEB UND DEM GESTOLPERTEN PFERD Russland, 17. Jh. Holztafel, doppeltes Kowtscheg, Eitempera auf Kreidegrund, Nimben und Hintergrund vergoldet. 34,5 x 25,6 cm. In der Legende um den heiligen Gleb wird erzählt, dass er, nachdem er die Nachricht vom Tod seines Vaters erhalten hatte, auf dem Weg nach Kiew war. Während dieser Reise stolperte plötzlich sein Pferd, was als böses Omen und Vorzeichen seines nahenden Schicksals gedeutet wurde. Dieses Ereignis symbolisiert das Unheil, das Gleb bevorstand, da er kurz darauf auf Befehl seines Bruders Swjatopolk ermordet wurde. In der Ikonographie wird das stolpernde Pferd oft dargestellt, um die Vorahnung des nahenden Todes und das unausweichliche Märtyrertum Glebs zu betonen. In spätere Tafel eingesetzt (vrezka).
