<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SSlava, post: 9420906, member: 4587&quot;]I also think that this is the end of the 19th or the beginning of the 20th century, but it is interesting to know other opinions.</p><p>Sorry if that)).</p><p>For example, with Russian icons everything is very complicated. The fact is that in the 18th century the style of icon painting began to change, borrowings from Western European painting appeared. But at the end of the 18th century, the fashion for the old style of icons of the 16th-17th centuries again went.</p><p>The imitators reached their greatest success towards the end of the 19th century, when they were able to clear away ancient images from layers of varnish and inscriptions.</p><p>At that time, many fakes of ancient painting were created.</p><p>But on the other hand, not everything is so clear.</p><p>they also wrote to me on the forums that the colors and inscription&nbsp; are not the same, the appearance is difficult to explain, but this is not a icon of the 17th century, but a icon of the late 19th century.</p><p>I uploaded photos to specialists at an institute, for example, the Tretyakov Institute, they answered me that maybe painting could be both the end of the 17th century and the 19th century, you have to look live.</p><p>And on the forums, almost everyone definitely wrote that this was the end of the 19th century)).</p><p>Also, one of the frequent arguments among experts from the forum is that the painting is rough or the inscriptions are clumsy, this is definitely not the 17th century)).</p><p><br /></p><p>There are even conflicts between scientists about the dating of icons. One of the researchers of icons - Baranov, made a chronological scale for the use of paints. That is, he revealed that certain paints were used only up to a certain time.</p><p>So, he examined some icons and came to the conclusion that those icons that all scientists considered stylistically to be the beginning of the 19th century were painted in the 17th century. In the museums where these icons hang, they were not in a hurry to agree with him and remained unconvinced about the dating.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
