Two Late 15th-16th Century Icons from the Four-part Series ‟Axion Esti...”
Abstract
Two icons with almost similar compositions (the figure of the Virgin in the central medallion and the angels and saints around it) are the two parts of thefour-part series "Axion Estin...".This series was made in Moscow around the late 15th-early 16th century. Both existing icons were probably donated from Moscow to Mount Athos. One of them is now at the Xenophontos monastery. The other icon was taken back to Russia by one of its collectors, most likely in the 19th century, and is now in the Russian Museum at Saint Petersburg.
