EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Portable Triptych Icon: The Resurrection and Anastasis, believed to have been created in the 1600s by an unknown artist. This exquisite triptych icon was most likely commissioned by a lay person for personal prayer and meditation, allowing them to carry their faith wherever they went. When not in use, it could be conveniently folded and shut. The three scenes depicted from left to right are incredibly significant. On the left panel is The Crucifixion, portraying the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. In the center panel lies The Resurrection and Anastasis, capturing the powerful moment when Jesus rises from death, symbolizing hope and eternal life. Finally, on the right panel stands Adoration of the Miracle-Working Icon of the Vladimir Mother of God, showcasing devotion towards this revered religious artifact. Small portable icons like this were commonly used in later Russian religious practices during that era. Crafted with painted wood panels encased within an enameled brass frame, this piece exemplifies both Byzantine influences and traditional Russian artistry. Preserved at The Cleveland Museum of Art as part of their heritage collection, this remarkable work remains shrouded in mystery regarding its creator but continues to inspire awe through its intricate details and spiritual significance.
