Iconostases of Russian emigration: icon painter V. A. Tsevchinsky

The article is the first attempt to present the work of an artist of the Russian emigration, a member and secretary of the “Icon” society in Paris, and the creator of his own iconographic school, V. A. Tsevchinsky, who participated in the revival of Russian Orthodox culture in emigration through his icon-painting activities abroad. The study revealed a number of iconographic monuments that belonged to the iconographer's oeuvre. Despite the active creative, pedagogical and social activity, carried out by V. A. Tsevchinsky, his artistic heritage was little studied, which allowed the author of this article to partially fill this gap. The article discusses both the artist's iconostasis complexes and his individual icons, as well as the temple murals. These are the iconostasis and exterior icon of the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in Boulogne-Billancourt (Paris), the icon of St. Andrew the First Called from the iconostasis of St. Seraphim of Sarov (Paris), exterior paintings of the Church of the Archangel Michael in Cannes, and certain icons from private collections presented in publications and at exhibitions.
