About the Item

Russia / 19th century / Icon St. John the Warrior / wood / Religious A striking 19th-century Russian icon depicting St. John the Warrior, painted with exceptional attention to detail and lavish use of gilt highlights. Revered as a protector and intercessor for the oppressed, St. John is traditionally portrayed as a soldier-saint, and this finely executed panel captures him in full regalia, an ornate cuirass, flowing cloak, and commanding stance, symbolizing spiritual strength and righteous defense. The central figure is surrounded by narrative vignettes, illustrating episodes from the saint’s life and miracles, a hallmark of high-quality iconography intended for devotional contemplation. Rich pigments, intricate linework, and the warm glow of gold leaf create a luminous visual depth characteristic of Russian ecclesiastical art of the period. Painted in tempera on a solid wooden panel, the icon retains its original border and displays an appealing patina consistent with age and devotional use. A compelling example of 19th-century Russian religious artistry, it makes an important addition to any collection of icons or sacred artworks. The feast day is on 30 July (Julian calendar), or 12 August (Gregorian calendar). Provenance: Private collection
