Abstract
The article is dedicated to the icon “The Mother of God Tikhvinskaya with the Tale of its Image” of the last quarter of the 17th century from the collection of the Historical Museum. It discusses its history, clarifies the literary source, as well as presents the analysis of the iconographic program, compositional features and artistic uniqueness. The work ended up in the museum collection due to global changes in post-revolutionary Russia, which triggered a large-scale movement of cultural properties. The icon originates from the Tikhvin Lands and belongs to the poorly studied culture of the Russian province. Recent research has unveiled a whole set of works linked to the icon painters of the Tikhvin Posad. The icon “The Mother of God Tikhvinskaya with the Tale of its Image” represents a vivid example of the art of Tikhvin masters of the second half of the 17th century.
