Room 2

One notable feature of the collection of the Russian Museum is its relatively large number of icons from the north of Russia. Novgorod, Pskov, Vologda, Belozersk and Archangelsk all lie relatively close to St Petersburg and so are well represented in its collection of icons. The Pskovian and и Novgorodian icons of XIII-XV centuries are exhibited in the room. Among them are „St Nicholas“ (Novgorod), „St Demetrios of Soluneia“ (Pskov), „The Archangel Gabriel“ (Pskov), „St Nicholas with scenes from his life“ and others.
