Indepth Arts News: "The Sacred Corner: Russian Icons from the Collection of Daniel Bibb" 2000-11-11 until 2001-01-07 Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts Montgomery, AL, USA
The manner in which the figures are shown, as well
as the way in which the panels are painted, reflects a craft that has existed
for centuries in eastern Europe and Asia. This exhibition includes Russian
icons dating from the 17th through early 20th centuries. These hand-painted,
holy images are richly embellished with silver gilt, gold vermeil, colored
enameling, and gold-leaf frames containing semi-precious stones.
