A fascinating attribute of Russian Art Nouveau by Faberge. Icon of St. Constantine on zinc in silver.
A bewitching attribute of the era of Russian Art Nouveau from the St. Petersburg workshop of Carl Faberge. Capacious, spiritual and weighty image of St. Constantine on zinc, in a silver frame. The vertical road icon represents a standing saint in royal robes, with a cross in his hand, against the backdrop of distant Constantinople shrines. The gentle haze of the outlines of St. Sophia and the temples of the city counterpoint emphasizes the unshakable historical reality of the first Christian king. His figure is given weighted and solemnly, without bragging. In the image of the emperor, a contribution to the visible reality of the Christian world is affirmed. A rectangular salary sounds surprisingly multifaceted, emphasizing the functional practicality of modernity. Right angles emphasize the importance of the pictorial field and the idea of being commercially made. At the same time, the double curls of the frame symbolize clouds - open spiritual heavens, where we see the faces and holy deeds of the past. The loop is made in geometric, chopped forms and is full of late modern grace. St. Petersburg stamps, 88 silver standard, 1908-1917. Full mark of Faberge under the double-headed eagle. The dimensions of the icon: 15x8.5 cm. The total weight of the icon is about 500 gr.

Завораживающий атрибут Русского модерна от Фаберже. Икона св. Константина на цинке в серебре.
Завораживающий атрибут эпохи Русского модерна от Петербургской мастерской Карла Фаберже. Ёмкий, одухотворенный и весомый образ Святого Константина на цинке, в серебряном окладе. Вертикальная, дорожная икона репрезентует стоящего святого в царских одеждах, с крестом в руке, на фоне далеких Константинопольских святынь. Нежная дымка очертаний святой Софии и храмов города контрапунктом подчеркивает незыблемую историческую явь первого Христианского царя. Его фигура дана взвешено и торжественно, без бахвальства. В образе императора утверждается вклад в зримую, реальность христианского мира. Удивительно многогранно звучит прямоугольный оклад, подчеркивающий функциональную практичность модерна. Прямые углы подчеркивают значение изобразительного поля и идею товарной сделанности. В то же время, сдвоенные завитки оклада, символизируют облака - раскрытые духовные небеса, где мы зрим лица и святые подвиги прошлого. Петля выполнена в геометрических, рубленных формах и полна грации позднего модерна. Петербургские клейма 88 пробы серебра, 1908-1917 годов. Полное клеймо Фаберже под двуглавым орлом. Размеры иконы: 15х8,5 см. Общий вес образа около 500 гр.
