Icons - Russian Museum - St. Petersburg

Dear Friends
as you know, Jean-Luc and me, last week were in St. Petersburg for attending the Congress Jenam 2011. This event has let us the time to visit the Russian Museum ( http://www.rusmuseum.ru/eng/home/ )which collects paintings of Russian artists of various periods. We were particularly interested to the collection of precious icons of the Museum also because the icons is one of the subject of interest of our M.Polo Club. We payed for a permission to take images, and the attached ones give you an impression of the icons in the Museum and of the icons art in general.
