Book Info: This volume provides a history of the Russian icon, from its origins in the 11th century to its golden age in the 14th and 15th centuries, and ending with its rapid decline in the 16th century. The book describes: the dawn of panel painting; techniques and aesthetics of Russian icons; main schools of icon painting; and discusses individual artists and their best works. One chapter is dedicated to the history of the discovery of Russian icons and to the major scholars who dealt with Russian iconography. The text also incorporates Viktor Lazarevs observation of the techniques used in restoring the art. An appendix, providing detailed descriptions of each colour plate, allows both the scholar and non-specialist reader to gain maximum understanding of Lazarevs main text. The general bibliography represents all the scientific literature on Russian iconography of the 11th to the 15th centuries. -- Customer Review -- This book is an absolutely MUST BUY for anyone interested in iconographic art. The authors scholarship is second to none. The vast number of beautiful icon plates which are in the book are second to none. No other book comes close. Big, heavy, beautiful book. -- Customer Review -- This is a truly stunning work and it is a pity that it should be out of print. As the commentator noted, the price for the book in the out-of-print market is exhorbitant. If you read Italian, however, the book is available for around 150 euros--not unreasonable for a beautifully produced art book.Better yet, Liturgical Press, please reprint this book!
