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."

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