A selection from the Hollingsworth Collection, this exhibition illustrates the stylistic evolution of icons created in the Romanov period. In the Romanov period, the traditional craft of icon painting underwent a significant change. Under the influence of Western painting, icons acquired a more three-dimensional, realistic component. The exhibition displays “westernized,” more painterly icons alongside those preserving the traditional stylized manner of the post-Byzantine tradition. |
