The artwork, titled “St. Prince Alexander Nevsky And Daniel of Moscow,” is by the artist “Orthodox Icons” and dates circa 1800. This piece belongs to the genre of iconography and is part of the “Saints” series.
The artwork depicts Saint Prince Alexander Nevsky on the left, who is arrayed in a detailed and radiant noble attire, complete with armor and a cloak, and holding a spear. Standing opposite him on the right is Saint Daniel of Moscow, adorned in traditional monastic robes, emanating a serene and contemplative presence. Between the two saints, an altar with offerings is displayed, set against a backdrop that features architectural elements suggesting a sacred or historical cityscape. Above the saints, a divine representation appears amidst clouds, creating a focal point that bridges the terrestrial with the celestial. The meticulous detailing and rich color palette of the artwork both reflect and honor the spiritual significance and veneration of these historical and religious figures within Orthodox Christianity.
