Interesting icon

[uriart]

Pecheneg, all you saw correctly.
A craquelure understand why this.
After all the icons in the churches were restored, that is dissected with varnish or linseed oil.
From year to year and grew a layer of lacquer.
While the church was, and there was no Crazing. Yet there was a regime, no matter how how.
And as the church began to tear down the people in their homes and assorted icons.
In the 50 - or 60-ies of men hid in the attic so the icons in the sheds.
It was impossible to say that the believer.
Branded would be a shame to work.
And as the house kept, nobody knows.
That craquelure appeared.

Just a thick layer of varnish. On time and went.

 Dried linseed oil in its structure is very flexible. Gives cracks only in locations exposed to open flame (the trace of the lamps)

tandem without seeing, without holding an icon can not make such categorical conclusions ... I also craquelure not like it, but there I saw a small scree paint layer, which is not in favor of artificiality and lithographs .. . If I saw it live, then one could conclude that it is.

What you call "small talus layer of ink," more akin to mechanical damage (scratches).
About Crazing - that samples of natural and iskusstvennogo.Sravnite.

At the place where the lamp is usually obtained burned, burned down to the wood base. But such huge cracelures I met when an icon of "special restoration" covers the nitrocellulose lacquer, but he then tore up the paint layer, to the point that tore and gesso ..

You keep the painting in his hands and can judge more accurately.

How it difficult for me to imagine that

uriart, sells and collects art is good ....
many years can not figure out where the painting and where the litho.

Craquelure on the tree and the canvas is often not odinakov.Ot humidity and temperature of the tree itself is walking differently, depending on the annual sloev.Po photo to make any rash, I think.:
