Saint Nikolaos The icon of Saint Nicholas according to the style of the Russian School, is characterized by the intense, bright colors, the rough lines of the face, the brightness of the flesh and the clarity of the design. Saint Nicholas wears an elaborate crown and a white omophorion with three crosses. With his left hand he holds the gospel closed and with his right hand he blesses. Christ and the Virgin on either side of the Saint on a smaller scale are depicted on small clouds and holding the gospel and omophorion, as defined by established iconography. The Saint's face, with a white, rounded beard and white hair, is shadowed by a slight wrinkle on the forehead. The depiction of the Saint in this icon of the Russian style is consistent with the image of the Saint painted around 1,500 AD.
