Ascension
Early 19th Century

About the Item

This rare early 19th Century 'Icon of the Ascension' has beautiful features rich colors and an uplifting scene with a classical composition. The original reposse' pot silver frame enhances the decorative charm of this special antique. Good condition - an unrestored gem. Since 1995, the Pushkin Gallery has been representing exceptional works from the period of postwar Soviet Union up until 2014 when Russia invaded Crimea, at which time cultural exchange largely came to an end. Kenneth Pushkin comments, "the paintings in this collection are rare and among the most significant examples of painting from this period - and they are beautiful. It’s notable that the highest-level works from this period have all but disappeared - acquired by museums or hidden in private collections. We offer collectors the opportunity to acquire gorgeous works of art that resonate with history at a very reasonable price.” In 2000, the Pushkin Gallery moved to a 300-year-old restored hacienda in the world-renowned art center of Santa Fe, New Mexico, where the unique gallery became a must-see destination for art lovers. Visitors commented that the Pushkin Gallery was like a museum. "Perhaps, it's because we disseminate knowledge," remarked Kenneth. With best-of-class curation and gallery practices, Pushkin Gallery became one of the most recognized purveyors of Russian art in the U.S. From the inception of the Pushkin Gallery, over 30 years ago, many of the most important and beautiful Russian antiques have been retained in a privately held collection and never shown publicly. Now for the first time, these reserved items are being exclusively offered on 1st Dibs.
