EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Portable Triptych Icon: The Resurrection and Anastasis, dating back to the 1600s. Created by the Byzantine School, this exquisite piece is housed within an enamelled brass frame and measures 6.5x6x0.2 cm when unframed. When closed, it stands at 7.3x6.9x3.4 cm, while open and extended it reaches a height of 7x19.1 cm. Commissioned by a lay person for private prayer and meditation, this triptych icon could be conveniently folded and shut when not in use. The three scenes depicted from left to right are: The Crucifixion on the left panel; The Resurrection and Anastasis at the center; and Adoration of the Miracle-Working Icon of the Vladimir Mother of God on the right panel. Small portable icons like this were commonly used in later Russian religious practices during that time period. This particular artwork is currently held at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA as part of their collection. The intricate craftsmanship combined with its historical significance makes this triptych icon an exceptional representation of Christian art from the seventeenth century Byzantine era. It serves as a testament to both faith and artistic expression throughout history.
