An icon from the iconostasis of the St. Andrew's Church in Kyiv 1754

"An icon from the iconostasis of the St. Andrew's Church in Kyiv" is an 18th century icon depicting a bearded holy figure holding a cross. It was painted in 1754 by Ukrainian artist Aleksey Antropov. The icon is framed in a Baroque style, with ornate floral motifs that add to the religious and devotional nature of the piece. It is likely that the icon was part of a larger iconostasis, a wall of icons that separates the sanctuary from the nave in an Orthodox church. Antropov's work exemplifies the artistic trends of the Russian Baroque style, which drew inspiration from Western European art. This icon is a significant piece in the history of Russian religious art and is an excellent example of the artistic style and iconography of the time.
