About the icon
The Protectress of Russia (Kazanskaya)
After a great fire in Kazan, the Theotokos appeared in dreams to a young girl, Matrona, revealing where her icon lay buried among the ruins. It was found and venerated for its healings, and was later carried with the forces that freed Moscow in 1612. The icon shows the Virgin in half-figure with the Child standing before her, blessing. It is commemorated on 8 July and 22 October. This Museum Edition faithfully reproduces the icon on a raised panel, its background laid by hand in matte gold leaf.
This is an authentic icon crafted according to Byzantine technique and style. All parts are made by hand and only the theme is reproduced using Advanced Museum Standards Technique.
Once the natural wood panel is cut to the desired dimensions, our skilled craftsmen meticulously apply the Matte Gold Leaves on the background. Then the theme is directly printed on the prepared surface, resulting to an exquisite work of art.
At the back of the icon, a mounting point is installed, accompanied by our Certificate of Authenticity and Quality. At the small sized icons a stand is also available. All of our artworks bear the studio’s distinctive title and logo.
A thorough quality inspection takes place before we secure the package with durable protective materials to ensure safe delivery.
Each icon is made to order. Once your order is ready to ship, you will receive the retail receipt and the tracking information via email.
