An Icon of the Six Days (Shestodnyev) Russia, 18/19th ct. 35 x 31 cm In the center of the icon, the creation of the world by the Creator, clad in white, is depicted in six small panels. Beneath this, Jesus Christ amidst the heavenly hosts and as the Judge of the World. To the left and right of Christ on the throne stand intercessors, led by Mary and John the Baptist. Beneath this depiction, the Fall of Man is illustrated in three small scenes. At the very bottom of the center, two large groups of saints are depicted, turning towards a crowd of children. These children presumably represent the innocent souls in Paradise. On either side of the central depiction, six further scenes, illustrating the liturgical week. At the top are depicted the Anastasis of Christ (Sunday) and the Assembly of the Archangels (Monday); below these, on the left, is the Beheading of John the Baptist (Tuesday) and, on the right, the Annunciation (Wednesday). Finally, the Washing of the Feet and the Crucifixion of Christ are depicted for Thursday and Friday. For Saturday, the feast day of All Saints, the saints are depicted in the centre. Private collection, Baden-Württemberg
