Exhibition of wooden sculpture

St. Nikola of Mozhaisk. Sculpture. Wood. XVIIth century.
Exhibition of Russian wooden sculpture in the northern gallery of the church helps to overcome the error idea of the absence of  sculpture in Russian Orthodox churches’ decoration. Monumental icon sculptures, carved icons, small crosses and folding icons give an idea of this kind of art's development in the XVth - XIXth centuries. The most ancient exhibit is the relief depiction of St. George of the late XIVth - early XVth century, one of the oldest Russian icons.

St. George the Warrior. Sculpture. Wood. Late XIVth -early XVth century.
