Old Russian Icons in Rome

Though it may not seem like it, this is an exhibition of icons of the old Russian believers, who made them from silver and bronze. Its an art form that was not very well known in the west until recently. Daria Maltseva Museum of the Russian State, St. Petersburg The old believers are orthodox Russians that didnt accept the ecclesiastic reform put in place by the patriarch Nikon in the middle of the XVII century. They followed the ancient ritual and opposed the official Church. The Russian patriarch Nikon corrected the liturgical texts and traditions because they had not been translated correctly from Byzantine Greek and had doctrinal problems. Despite the changes, the so called old believers continued to venerate these images while the rest of the orthodox Russians dont venerate figures. Daria Maltseva Museum of the Russian State, St. Petersburg The old believers looked for models from before the reform and they reproduced them. But they made new compositions, adding details or joining several compositions together, for example, putting the cross and the figure of some saints together, or depictions of their feasts. These icons belong to the Belvedere collection. Theyre bronze or silver pieces, some decorated with glazes that were used in chapels of churches, but could also be taken in ones pocket, or be placed in small domestic altars. Also, because the material is resistant, som icons were put over doors or tombs.
