This museum catalogue starts with an in-depth description of icons, including a discussion of what an icon is, what makes a painting an icon, icons as works of art, materials used in making icons, the making of wooden icons, and the uses of icons. It also gives an historic overview of the great period of Russian icons and of icons in the Orient. A chronological table and scientific descriptions of nearly 130 icons classified thematically rounds off this basic work.
