The icon shows the Mother of God of Fedorovskaya type, one of the variants of the Hodegetria icons. It is a central Russian work from the first half of 19th century A.D. The Fedorovskaya icon of the Mother of God or Virgin of Kostroma is honoured by the Orthodox church as a miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary. It is kept in the city of Kostroma, in the Cathedral of Epiphany-Anastasia. Legend attributes its creation to Saint Luke the Evangelist. Its iconography is similar to that of Our Lady of Vladimir. She is also revered as one of the icons of the Romanov house linked to the election in 1613 of the founder of the dynasty Michael Romanov who lived his youth in Kostroma. -
Post Medieval Bronze 'Fauno Rosso' Satyr
19th century A.D.Sold for (Inc. bp): £1,690

From an important Paris gallery, France.
Half-man, half-beast, satyrs were believed to be the children of goats and mountain nymphs. Followers of the god Dionysus, they had a reputation for drunkenness and spent their days participating in orgiastic rituals. They represented the crude and boisterous facets of the stereotypical male persona, particularly of rural man. -
