AN ICON SHOWING THE FINDING OF GLEB'S BODY Russian, 17th century Tempera on wood panel with double kovcheg. Finely executed in great detail on a gold ground. Set into a later panel (vrezka). 38.1 x 25.2 cm. The death of Gleb is a significant and symbolic event in the history of Kievan Rus. Gleb, the younger brother of Boris, was murdered on the orders of their brother Sviatopolk, who sought to seize power after the death of their father, Vladimir the Great. Gleb was traveling on a boat when he received the devastating news of his brother Boris's death. In deep sorrow and uncertainty, he continued his journey. However, while on the river, he was brutally murdered by assassins sent by Sviatopolk. According to legend, it was one of his own servants who stabbed him as Gleb prayed on the boat, asking God for protection. The image of Gleb in a boat, often depicted in iconography, symbolizes not only his martyrdom but also his peaceful devotion to God, as he refused to use violence against his brother or anyone else. Gleb, along with Boris, became one of the first martyrs and saints of Kievan Rus. Their deaths marked the beginning of a new era of Christian devotion in the region.

IKONE MIT DER AUFFINDUNG DES HEILIGEN GLEB Russland, 17. Jh. Holztafel, doppeltes Kowtscheg, Eitempera auf Kreidegrund, partielle Vergoldung, Goldgrund. 38,1 x 25,2 cm. Der Tod von Gleb ist eng mit einer symbolträchtigen und tragischen Geschichte in der Kiewer Rus verbunden. Gleb, der jüngere Bruder von Boris, wurde auf Befehl ihres Bruders Swjatopolk ermordet, der nach dem Tod ihres Vaters, Wladimir des Großen, die Macht an sich reißen wollte. Gleb befand sich auf einem Boot, als er die Nachricht vom Tod seines Bruders Boris erhielt. In tiefer Trauer und Ungewissheit setzte er seine Reise fort. Auf dem Fluss wurde er jedoch von Mördern, die von Swjatopolk geschickt worden waren, brutal ermordet. Der Legende nach war es einer seiner eigenen Diener, der ihn erstach, während er auf dem Boot betete und Gott um Schutz bat. Das Bild von Gleb in einem Boot, das auch in der Ikonografie oft dargestellt wird, symbolisiert nicht nur seinen Märtyrertod, sondern auch seine friedvolle Hingabe an Gott, da er sich weigerte, Gewalt gegen seinen Bruder oder andere Menschen anzuwenden. Gleb wurde zusammen mit Boris als erster Märtyrer und Heiliger der Kiewer Rus verehrt. Ihr Tod markiert den Beginn einer neuen Ära der christlichen Hingabe in der Region. In spätere Tafel eingesetzt (vrezka).
