They also loved the art of fresco in Russia. Artists painted the walls of cathedrals, temples, churches. The painting of the temple began only a year after its construction. This was done so that the walls would dry well. The painting was usually started in the spring and tried to be completed within one season. Iconography The process of creating an icon is complex. The board was skillfully chosen (most often from linden). Hot fish glue (prepared from bladders and cartilage of sturgeon fish) was applied to its surface, and a new canvas-pillowcase was tightly glued. On the pillowcase, in several steps, gesso (the basis for painting) was applied, prepared from crushed chalk, water and fish glue. Levkas was dried and polished. Old Russian icon painters used natural dyes - local soft clays and hard precious stones brought from the Urals, from India, Byzantium and other places. For the preparation of paints, the stones were ground into powder, a binder was added, most often the yolk, as well as gum (water-soluble resin of acacia, plums, cherries, cherry plums). Icon painters boiled drying oil from linseed or poppy oil, which was used to cover the painting of icons. A little about the types of artistic craft... Grain. Small gold or silver balls (from 0.4 mm in diameter), which are soldered onto the ornament in jewelry. The grain creates a spectacular texture, a play of light and shadow. Bead. Pendant earring.

"Old Russian icon painters with amazing clarity and power embodied in images and colors what filled their souls - a vision of a different truth of life and a different meaning of the world." from an article in Trubetskoy "Speculation in Colors" How do you see the difference between religious and secular painting?


"ICON" - (gr. - eikon) - an image. The task of religious painting is to embody the word in the images of the Christian dogma. All types of painting techniques: mosaic, fresco, miniature, icon painting in religious painting are subordinated to a single goal - the disclosure of Christian truths. An icon is a sacred object that acts as an intermediary between man and God.


TECHNOLOGICAL SEQUENCE OF WORK ON ICONS Icons were painted on boards connected with dowels (bars). The boards were dried and covered with gesso (a mixture of glue and chalk). The drawing was translated. The background and the crowns of the saints were gilded. They painted vestments (clothes) and a landscape - “dolitsky writing”. They painted faces and exposed parts of the body - a “personal letter”. Icons were painted in tempera, a pigment (colored clays, minerals) mixed with eggs or casein (milk whey). The finished icon was covered with drying oil ( vegetable oil). Icons were painted according to the principle of reverse perspective, that is, the vanishing point of all objects was on the praying person standing in front of the icon. The "reverse" perspective is characterized by the combination of several points of view on the object, enclosed in a common space. In the "reverse" perspective - unlike the "direct" one - what is behind remains the same size, and most often increases. Objects, as it were, turn towards us with different faces, and the viewer feels himself simultaneously seeing from above, below and from different sides.






According to legend, the first icon was Ubrus - a towel on which the face of Christ was imprinted - the Savior Not Made by Hands. In Russia, icons were treated with reverence. They didn’t buy and didn’t sell from them - they just bartered them. They could not be thrown away or burned. Old icons were buried in the ground or floated down the river. Icons were the first to be rescued from fires and redeemed from captivity. Getting rid of misfortunes was associated primarily with the miraculous effect of icons.
