Before/After!

This icon of Saints Basil and Paraskeva from 1896-1908 was cleaned before going on display in our current exhibition, "Revealing the Divine: Treasures of Russian Sacred Art."

The depiction together of two saints whose lives did not intersect indicates that these are likely the patron saints of a married couple. The intricate and lavish oklad (icon cover), created by the firm of Iakov Mishukov, was added as a manifestation of the clients’ piety, but also reflects their economic status.

Mishukov’s clientele consisted in large part of affluent Old Believers who were attracted by the “old style” manner of his works
