Moscow: Severnyi palomnik, 2020 (1st ed. 2008). sewn cl. The icons catalogued here span the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; many works date to a transitional period when Western and secular elements began to penetrate the medieval Eastern Orthodox canonical style of icon-painting. Detailed commentary, list of exhibitions, bibliographies and especially the high quality of the illustrations make this an excellent source for the study of a vital branch of European art. Most of the ions are reproduced as a whole and in several details. The introduction gives a concise history of how the collection was built — however one regards the 1917 revolution, it definitely enriched Russian state museums, as the chief source of religious art was the state's nationalization of monastery and church art. 332 p., 28 cm, approx. 200 color illus., Rus. with title page, introduction, and list of illustrations in ENGLISH, Series: Drevnerusskaia zhivopis’ v muzeiakh Rossii / Medieval Russian Painting in Russian Museums.
