- Lot Description
Eastern Europe, Russia, ca. 19th century CE. Finely painted in egg tempera on gesso atop wood, an icon portraying Saints Sergey and Barlaam kneeling at the feet of Jesus Christ who stands on a small plinth. Jesus wears flowing red vestments beneath a dark-blue robe, holds the open Holy Gospel in his left hand, reaches his right hand toward Saint Sergey, and has a coronal halo behind his gentle visage. Saints Sergey and Barlaam wear burgundy-hued robes atop citrine robes and reach out toward Christ as if awed by his radiance. Both saints have their respective names displayed above their heads, and Christ's monogram 'IC XC' flanks either side of his head. The venerated scene is framed with a dark-brown border and a thin yellow stripe that imbues this icon with a holy presentation indicative of the Russian Orthodoxy. Size: 10" W x 12.25" H (25.4 cm x 31.1 cm).
Sergius is well-known for his visions of the Trinitarian mystery, whose messages he advocated, and is believed to be the first Russian saint to record his visions of the Mother of God. He is also the founder of the Monastery of the Holy Trinity near Moscow. Barlaam is famous for being named as the first abbot of the Pecherska Lavra Monastery in Kiev around 1057 CE.
