should not be among the icons of paintings , though written in the Bible stories .

Outside the window XXI century . Stop being blinkered .
There is a word "icon" . It means that a certain well-established and ingrained in the public consciousness CONCEPT assigned to the transmission to future generations , can not only narrate to multiply with explanatory details , but also shows an image filled with the appropriate symbols . The authorship of these images is quickly forgotten or just do not show up. Such images have a common name - ICON . Icons placed in the red corner of the hut , rooms ... A typical example , even for an atheist , can serve as icons sv.sv.Petra and Paul, the first teacher of Cyril and Methodius ...
Some works of art of the portrait , mythological and other genres with time or due to specific circumstances acquire the status icons ( portraits of leaders , types of buildings, landscapes and biblical scenes ... ) .
The conventions die . The informative value of the image remains .

That's right, this is the so-called
"Spiritual painting" Memory of the Death with traditional text and image.

And the price is "quite right" as redbor written?
That has set the record straight i.

Firm price for such things do not exist.
But do not think that redbor much mistaken ..
To know the price of this work, the easiest way to put it up for auction with low start ..
Here then will see the price ..

​​And you can not close ?

Well then argue directly with the two Kirillov ?!
Now, and I'll know that next to the iconostasis can be hung , " The Appearance of Christ to the people " in the reproductive form, or the " Sistine Madonna " from the calendar.
Probably my knowledge about this issue obsolete.
Maybe ...
