Icon of the Beheading of John the Baptist. Early 19th century.
Icon of the Beheading of John the Baptist. Early 19th century. One of the dramatic events in the life of the last prophet, drawing a line to his earthly days and gaining instructive eternity. The event takes place in a woodland of mountains, not far from the royal palace of Herod. The abundance of the ocher-green background, the proportionate structure of the figures and the strict narrow margins make it possible to date the icon to the very beginning of the 19th century.

Икона Усекновение главы Иоана Предтеча. Начало 19 века.
Икона Усекновение главы Иоана Предтеча. Начало 19 века. Одно из драматических событий в жизни последнего пророка, подводящих черту его земным дням и обретающих назидательную вечность. Событие разворачивается на лесчадке гор, не далеко от царского дворца Ирода. Обилие охристо-зеленого фона, пропорциональное строение фигур и строгие узкие поля - позволяют датировать икону самым началом 19 века.
