In addition to the suggestions already made, you might want to consider David Coomler's The Icon Handbook, Templegate Publishers, 1995 Alfredo Tradigo's Icons and Saints of the Eastern Orthodox Church, The J. Paul Getty Museum, 2006 Olga A. Polyakova's Icons-Masterpieces of Russian Art, Vivays Publishing, 2011 L. Evseyeva's A History of icon Painting Aidan Hart's Techniques of Icon and Wall Painting, Gracewing, 2011 Alla Rodina, ed. The Russian Icon, St. Petersburg: P-2 Publishers, 2006. As for images for icons and also a source for additional books, icon terminology and other topics, at our website at www.museumofrussianicons.org, we offer images under the Icon Studies tab. Choose Research Tools, and then Museum Collection. We have images of over 500 Russian icons from our collection on our website. And, looking further down the line, we also make available icons in a traveling exhibition. I hope this helps. --Raoul Prof. Raoul Smith, Research Fellow Editor, Journal of Icon Studies Museum of Russian Icons 203 Union Street Clinton, MA 01510 USA Phone: 978-598-5000 ext. 24 Fax: 978-598-5009 E-mail: [email protected] The mission of the Museum of Russian Icons is to enhance relations between Russia and the United States through the medium of art, especially Russian icons.
