Icon Depicting The Martyrdom Of Saint John From The 19th Century

This image depicts an icon painted on wood, dating back to the 19th century, framed by a precious gilded wooden frame The icon, made on a gilded background, represents the scenes of the death of Saint John. The scene shows the moment of martyrdom and the moments immediately following The gilded background gives the icon a sense of sacredness and divine light, while the landscape and architectural elements in the background place the scene in a symbolic rather than realistic context. The gilded wooden frame, contemporary with the icon, is richly decorated with floral motifs and volutes in relief Both on the icon and on the frame there are signs of wear as shown in the photo The measurements with frame are 18.5 x 15 x 4 cm Icon measurements 11.3 x 8 cm I'm also on Instagram " mercantedarteroma "
