EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "THE METROPOLITAN ALEXIS" a wood icon created around 1480 by the renowned artist Dionisius. The subject of this masterpiece is Saint Alexis, the Metropolitan of Moscow, who lived until his death in 1378. Standing tall and adorned in an exquisite robe, Saint Alexis embodies the essence of medieval Christianity. The fine artistry displayed in this 14th-century piece is truly remarkable. With a halo illuminating his presence, Saint Alexis exudes a sense of divine grace and wisdom. As one gazes upon this Russian Orthodox painting, they are transported back to the vibrant city of Moscow during the year 1480. Saint Alexis holds great significance within Muscovy's history as he served as both metropolitan and patriarch during his lifetime. His name variations include Alexius, Alexei, and Aleksei. Clad in intricate vestments that reflect his high status within the church hierarchy, he stands as an emblematic figure for Russian Orthodoxy. Dionisius' talent shines through every brushstroke on this wooden icon; it serves as a testament to his mastery over religious portraiture. This print captures not only the visual beauty but also preserves an important piece of cultural heritage from Russia's past.
