Russian icon of the XIX century. "Synaxis of All Holy Thaumaturgists of Kiev". Tempera on wood. Silver oklad. With hallmarks. It presents small imperfections on the outside of the silver border. Measurements: 18 x 14,5 x 2 cm. This icon represents the Synaxis of All Holy Thaumaturgists of Kiev, as certified by the usual Slavic inscription executed in white Cyrillic letters on the upper black border of the panel: Sobor Vsech Kievskich ?udotvorcev. It is the titular icon, which became popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, of the famous Kiev Caves Monastery (Kievo-Pe?erskaja Lavra), intended to glorify its main church of the Dormition (12th century), the titular icon of that -this one , and especially the dozens of saints who lived in this monastery, left it to become bishops or metropolitans, or received the favor of being buried there. Many of these saints, who fill the columns of Russian calendars, are important historical figures. Many others are known only through the accounts of the "Kiev Paterikon," a collection of biographies of Kiev monks, inspired by the spiritual biographies of the Egyptian Desert Fathers in the origins of Christian monasticism. As always, the center of the composition is occupied by the representation of the main church of the Monastery of the Caves, dedicated to the Dormition of the Mother of Dicu. This historical monument of ancient Russian architecture is illuminated by rays of light descending from the titular icon of the church, raised to heaven by two angels. In the lower part of the composition, the center is occupied by three crowned sovereigns: St. Vladimir the Great of Kiev, who ensured the conversion of Russia to Christianity in 988, and his two sons Boris and Gleb, victims in 1015 of the succession crisis in the Death of Vladimir and the first canonized saints of Russia. To the left and right of the composition, two compact groups of saints are outlined towards the center. In the foreground, below, they are headed by the holy monks Antonij and Feodosij Pe?erskij, (+ 1073 and 1074), the founders of the Kiev Caves Monastery, as well as the Metropolitan Saints of Russia, who, even after the transfer of their headquarters to Vladimir and Moscow (in 1327), continued to bear the title of Kiev and All Russia. The two groups, arranged in eleven rows on the left and in eight rows on the right, seem to have taken place on the steep slopes of the banks of the Dnjepr, where the Monastery of the Caves was located, and this impression is reinforced by the appearance. Above their heads, in the upper corners of the composition, famous caves that originally served as their habitation and were later organized as ossuaries, as can be seen in this icon.
