The miracle of the icon «The Sign of Our Lady» – Battle between warriors of Novgorod and Suzdal is a 1400 tempera by Unknown, a Byzantine icon painting work, held at Tretyakov Gallery.
This painting depicts a scene of battle between warriors of Novgorod and Suzdal, with a group of people gathered around an icon in the background. The icon appears to be a central element, with the people surrounding it in a state of reverence or awe. The scene is rendered in a style reminiscent of medieval art, with bold lines and vivid colors. The warriors are shown in various states of combat, with some on horseback and others on foot. The icon, meanwhile, seems to be emitting a radiant glow, which may be intended to represent its miraculous properties. The painting's use of tempera as a medium adds a sense of texture and depth to the scene, with the colors blending together to create a rich and dynamic effect.
