Portrait of Emperor of the Russian Empire Nicholas II Romanov. Wooden icon

Wooden Icon portrait of Emperor of the Russian Empire Nicholas II Romanov

Lifetime portrait. Artist Lipgart Ernest (1847-1932)

The icon of the Royal Passion-Bearers is fervently revered in the Orthodox world, and many Christians turn to it for help and advice.

The royal family entered not only secular, but also church history. The life of the royal family is still a symbol of wisdom, true faith and boundless love for others.

The Russian Imperial Romanov family (Nicholas II of Russia, his wife Alexandra Feodorovna, and their five children: Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia, and Alexei) were shot and bayoneted to death by Bolshevik revolutionaries under Yakov Yurovsky on the orders of the Ural Regional Soviet in Yekaterinburg on the night of 16–17 July 1918. Also murdered that night were members of the imperial entourage who had accompanied them: court physician Eugene Botkin; lady-in-waiting Anna Demidova; footman Alexei Trupp; and head cook Ivan Kharitonov. The bodies were taken to the Koptyaki forest, where they were stripped, buried, and mutilated with grenades to prevent identification.

The icon is made by printing on a wooden board. Paints are mineral, do not fade with time. The thickness of the board is 2 cm. The board is covered with primer by hand. The image is covered with wax. Each icon has a metal mount on the back side so that you can hang the icon on the wall.

You can buy the icon in three sizes:

• 13 х 9 centimeters (5,1 x 3,5 inches)
• 19 х 13 centimeters (7,5 x 5,1 inches)
• 26 х 18 centimeters (10,2 x 7,1 inches)

Our icons are made by Orthodox craftsmen. You can read more about the technology here.

We hope it will be a good gift for you and your loved ones.
