Nevyansk and style "Nevyansk Icon"

The glory of the Nevyansk inclined tower of the Demidovs is already well known. I want to tell and show a little another bright attraction of our Gornozavodsk Urals is the Urals "Nevyansk Icon". The traditions of which originated after 1720 on the eastern slope of the Ural ridge.

Together with the Old Believers, folk craftsmen - icon painters moved to the Urals. Around the Nevyansk plant was born a powerful settlement of Old Believers.

Be sure to show one of our old temples with a painting of old Nevyan icon painters, the Church of St. Nicholas has never closed since 1796. It is often called a cast iron temple.

And in Nevyansk for more than 15 years there is a fund "Revival of the Nevyansk Icon", which has a private icon painting workshop. Very spiritual and deep place, and if you are interested in this topic, then I advise you to book a tour, in the workshop there is a very enthusiastic and professional person.

In the House of Icons show modern icons in the old style of writing, using copper and precious stones, relief icons, copper folds and ancient icons. I'm talking about Old Believers.

And if you were in the Temple on Blood, you saw icons in honor of each Royal Passion-Bearer, so these very images were painted by the Nevyansk workshop in 2003 on a special order.

This year, on the 100th anniversary of the tragedy of the Royal Family in Yekaterinburg, a unique warehouse was made in the workshop, which was presented to Patriarch Kirill. The working sample can be seen in the eye in Nevyansk.

And of course, icons can be bought, small icons in the author’s performance of masters cost from 500 rubles, more expensive already from 10 thousand to several million rubles. For each icon you will be issued a personal certificate, with the name of the master.
