The artwork titled “Holy Wisdom” was created by “Orthodox Icons” around the year 1850. This piece belongs to the Yaroslavl school of icon painting and is categorized within the genre of iconography. It forms part of the “Christ the Savior” series.
The artwork depicts a central figure that appears to be enthroned, symbolizing divine wisdom, with angelic wings and a halo signifying sanctity. Flanking this central figure are other significant holy figures, likely the Virgin Mary and John the Baptist, each adorned with halos and in postures of reverence or blessing. Above the central figure, there is a depiction of Christ in a mandorla. The upper portion of the artwork presents an assembly of angels in adoration, set against a celestial background. The composition is intricate, with elaborate detailing in the halos, robes, and expressions which is characteristic of the Yaroslavl school. The use of gold leaf and vivid colors enhances the sacred and venerable ambiance of the piece.
