Abstract

Icon painting and oklad (“covered” or “a riza”) forms the overall appearance, often simultaneous with painting. In a utilitarian sense, the covered preserves the painting from mechanical and corrosive damage. The article presents the covered icons of the late 18th – early 20th centuries in the collection of the Primorye State Art Gallery. The author proposed their grouping according to the peculiarities of riza’s design, which is of significant importance in the exposition work of museums. The features of icons with basma rizas, embroidered rizas, rizas made under the influence of Baroque and Classicism styles, riza-covered icons and icons with a mortise cross are considered. The study also raises the question of the aesthetic interaction of the elements of sculpture, graphics, painting of the icon and its setting.
