Russian Orthodox Church icons inspire a quiet meditation toward the quest for spiritual growth, truth, and understanding. Therefore, Russian icons represent the most significant form of Russian religious art, not to mention that theologically they are considered sacred. Authentic Russian icons are still created solely for religious veneration by the morally upright artisans blessed for this purpose by a priest. It is also believed that some of the icons were delivered and even painted by saints themselves. Iconographers fasted and prayed before painting Russian Orthodox icons and never signed their works. The fact is that Orthodox religion claims that antique Russian icons were directly inspired by God. It’s interesting that the prototypic images of saints and feast days seen in the Russian icons have remained almost unchanged throughout the centuries. The technique of painting the Russian icon takes its origin from the golden age of Byzantine art and continues that style to this day.
Being an emblematic and distinctive part of Russian culture, Russian icons are unique monuments of ancient painting tradition that traces its roots back to the year 988, a period of Kievan Rus’ conversion to Orthodox Christianity.
