Palekh Icons: The Enchantment of Russian Painting
Since the 17th century, Palekh, a small town in Russia, was renowned as the locus of Russian Orthodox iconography. Tsars favored Palekh icons because they preserved the “old Russian” style characterized by fine, miniature, painting of architectural backdrops and landscapes, high quality workmanship and the heightened detail executed with narrative motifs. Eighteen works from the private collection of Berlin, Germany, art dealer and restorer Thomas Mönius, augmented with several Palekh icons from the Museum collection, are showcased in this homage to traditional Palekh-style iconography. Examples of Palekh objets d’art, derivative of Palekh icons, are included in the exhibition.
