This beautiful icon is in the chapel of the Metropolis Center in Denver, Colorado. It was painted over 200 years ago in Russia. It was taken from Russia during the Soviet era and sold in Germany. The icon then was acquired by a Houston, Texas art dealer in the 1990's. It has been at the Metropolis Center Chapel for about twenty years. This icon is of a type much loved by the Russian people.
This icon commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Assumption of the Theotokos Cathedral.
I was truly amazed at the iconography displayed at this church. The art, the temple dome, and the worship area are truly amazing. These three icons are a small representations of the thousands that belong to this church.
