Icon of Sts. Peter and Paul from Belozersk 1230

The *Icon of Sts. Peter and Paul from Belozersk* is a 13th-century Russian icon painted in the traditional Byzantine style. The icon, which is housed in the Russian Museum in Saint Petersburg, depicts the two apostles, Peter and Paul, standing side by side in full-length figures. They are both depicted in the traditional manner, wearing long, flowing robes and holding religious objects. This icon is a fine example of the early Russian iconographic tradition. It's characterized by its rigid forms, flat perspective, and use of bright, vibrant colors, typical of Orthodox icons. The icon is a testament to the artistic skill of the Orthodox icon painters and their devotion to the religious traditions.
