Icon - Wood - Consolation

«ВСѢМЪ СКОРБЯЩИМЪ РАДОСТЬ» (Joy to all the afflicted). (A todos los afligidos, alegría). Es precisamente la fórmula tradicional asociada a la Virgen «Alegría de todos los afligidos». The composition of the icon is very characteristic: - The Virgin appears in the center, standing on the clouds, with the Child Jesus in her arms. - She is accompanied by angels, who intercede and aid people. - At the bottom, distressed, ill, needy and suffering people appear, raising their hands toward the Mother of God. - The figures represent those seeking consolation, healing, protection, and help. - On both sides, saints appear as intercessors. A very interesting feature of this exemplar It is not a simple representation of the «Joy of All the Afflicted», but a fairly developed narrative composition, with numerous figures at the bottom. Furthermore, the style is clearly Russian of a late tradition, with strong Western influence: the figures have volume, anatomy, and movement that are more naturalistic than in old Russian icons.
