Icon of the Lord Almighty with a Scepter and Orb, Russia, circa 1908-1917

The icon The Lord Almighty is a striking example of Russian Art Nouveau in icon painting of the early 20th century. The image of the Savior is made on a smooth silver gilded background, which creates a shining effect and emphasizes the sacredness of the image. The face of the Lord is presented in a waist-length composition, the heavenly kingdom is revealed before Him. Traditional attributes, a scepter and orb - symbolize the power and omnipotence of the Savior. The icon frame is made in the form of a temple with domes, decorated with chased elements and curls symbolizing heavenly clouds. The composition is complemented by two red cabochons located in the lower part of the frame, which emphasizes the solemnity of the icon and its significance. The rounded corners of the frame add harmony, characteristic of Russian Art Nouveau, and the holder for hanging is made in strict geometric forms, which reflects the influence of late Art Nouveau. Hallmarks: The hallmark of the letter MK is presumably the hallmark of Mikhail Yegorovich Karpinsky, a hallmark in an oval shield of the Moscow District Assay Office, consisting of the numbers 84 indicating the sample; a woman`s head in a kokoshnik, facing right, corresponding to the period 1908-1917. The original red velvet is preserved on the reverse side of the icon. Dimensions: height 9 cm, width 6 cm. Thickness 1.5 cm. Product weight: 70 g
