Stroganovskii ikonopisnyi litsevoi podlinnik (kontsa XVI i nachala XVII stolietii)

1869 · [Moskva, Izd. litografii pri Khudozhestvenno-promyshl. muzeumie] · 17 pictures

A 1869 Moscow lithographed facsimile of a late sixteenth-century Russian icon-painters' manual, the Stroganov Face-Book, issued by the lithography workshop of the Museum of Art and Industry for icon painters and scholars. The plates show standing saints in long robes with haloes, set beneath Old Slavonic inscription panels, drawn in clean outline with light sepia wash, offering a designer ready models of Byzantine-derived sacred figure grouping, flat frontal poses and ornamental lettering.
