Russian Icons

Yesterday, I decided to drop by the local Art Museum. (Originally a jail.)

I went to see a private collection of Russian Icons.

I thought I would share these snaps from my cell phone of the one and only.......

SAINT NICOLAS

a little closer.......... he looks like "the one".
this representation must be a younger version...
and here........ another representation of Saint Nick....

It is hard to believe these are egg tempera on wood/board and several centuries old.

There are actually a number of Russian Icons listed on ebay......
