ICON “CHRIST IN GLORY WITH THE SYMBOLS OF THE FOUR EVANGELISTS”. RUSSIA, 20TH CENTURY

This icon of Christ in Glory is a traditional example of Russian Orthodox iconography, depicting Christ seated in glory on a throne amidst clouds, enclosed in a mandorla adorned with stars. Surrounding Him are the four symbols of the Evangelists: the angel (Matthew), the eagle (John), the lion (Mark), and the ox (Luke), each holding a book representing the Gospels. The composition is painted in tempera with gold leaf on a recessed wooden panel.

The icon emphasizes eschatological themes—Christ as Pantocrator, Judge, and Redeemer—encircled by the apocalyptic tetramorph. The mandorla is painted in deep blue and golden hues, enhancing the divine presence. Inscriptions are in traditional Cyrillic.

Inscriptions
Names of the Evangelists are inscribed in the corners: “Matthew”, “Mark”, “Luke”, and “John”. At the top, the inscription reads: “GOD ALMIGHTY”.
