This book reveals and presents all by now known early Nevyansk icons. With only a few exceptions, they are collected in the Nevyansk Icon Museum. The publication of these historical monuments - as well as the biographies of all documented Old Believer icon painters in the mining and metallurgical districts of the Urals - for the first time ever enables the scholars to see the genesis of Nevyansk icon-painting tradition, the stylistic aspects and distinctive features oi Nevyansk icons of the first half of the 18th century. This book is intended for general readers but primarily for researchers and connoisseurs of Russian icons.
