EDITORS COMMENTS
This 15th-century Russian icon depicts Demetrios de Thessalonique, also known as Saint Demetrius of Thessaloniki. The artwork, created using tempera on panel, measures 43.3x30.7 cm and is currently housed in the Ikonen Museum in Recklinghausen, Germany. The image showcases the vibrant colors and intricate details characteristic of Russian religious icons. Saint Demetrius is portrayed with a halo or aureola around his head, symbolizing his status as a saint. He holds a cross in one hand, representing his Christian faith and martyrdom. Saint Demetrius was a prominent figure in early Christianity and served as a Roman officer during the reign of Emperor Galerius Maximian. However, he faced persecution for his beliefs and was ultimately martyred around 306 AD. This painting captures the essence of tradition and spirituality within the Christian religion. It serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy left by saints like Demetrios de Thessalonique who dedicated their lives to their faith. The historical significance of this artwork lies not only in its portrayal of an important saint but also in its representation of medieval Russia's artistic style during the 15th century. The attention to detail and skillful execution demonstrate the mastery achieved by artists from that era. Overall, this Russian icon offers viewers a glimpse into both religious devotion and artistic excellence from centuries past.
