SLUMA hosts Relics of a Glorious Past: Imperial Russian Artifacts

The Saint Louis University Museum of Art is pleased to host Relics of a Glorious Past: Imperial Russian Artifacts from the Collection of Doctor James. F. Cooper. Over 400 items, ranging from the 16th to the early 20th century reflect the splendor of Imperial Russia. Items contained in the exhibition include exquisitely crafted furniture; silver pieces; glass and porcelain figures; medals, and military ceremonial artifacts. All items in the collection offer glimpses into the late Imperial Russian religion, its politics, and the private lives of those who not only collected, but cherished the icons that symbolized their heritage and beliefs.

Over 150 Russian icons are organized according to iconographic type and subject: Christ, the Virgin Mary, Apostles and Martyrs, Fathers of the Eastern Church, Monastic and Russian Saints, gospels and church feasts. At its inception, the icon symbolized the image of a sacred person or event and was used as a devotional object. Icons became a part of the Kievan Rus life after the conversion to Orthodox Christianity in 988 and followed strict Byzantine rules. With the passage of time, the Russians expanded the vocabulary of types and styles beyond anything found elsewhere in the Orthodox world.

Exhibition concludes Sunday, Dec. 20, 2009
