metadata.value: Byzantine icons of the 14th century in Russian museums are scattered material. In this regard,
  the situation when it is possible to identify or at least raise the question of whether two icons of such an
  artistic level from different collections belong to the same master is almost unique. The Late Paleologian
  icon of the Resurrection of Lazarus from the the Russian Museum can without exaggeration be called
  the pearl of the collection. The icon was received by the Russian Museum in 1928 from the collection
  of G. N. Gamon-Gaman through the State Museum Fund. There is a small icon of the Nativity of Christ
  distinguished by high pictorial skill in the collection of the new Patriarchal Museum of Church Art at the
  Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow. The study of this late Paleologian monument is just beginning,
  but the special relevance of its research is due to the fact that the artistic features allow us to compare this
  image with the aforementioned icon of the Resurrection of Lazarus, a landmark monument of the collection
  of the Russian Museum. A number of features of the icon of the Nativity painting technique makes it possible
  to speak about a significant stylistic community of these two monuments despite the fact that the preservation of it is not the best. The similarity of the nuances of color, the principles of shaping, the presence of common
  characteristic techniques in the construction of gaps, the picturesque solution of clothes, the dashed manner
  of modeling the light part of the slides, individual handwriting and great similarity in individual details, the
  general features of the drawing of the hands and feet of the characters, the nature of the vegetation image, the
  proportions of the figures, the size of the image, the features of gilding halos (on top of the paint layer) ― all
  these aspects reveal such a close similarity of painting techniques that it becomes possible to raise the question
  of identifying in this case the individual manner of one master and the belonging of these two icons to the
  festive row of the same iconostasis. Technical studies of the icon of the Resurrection of Lazarus were carried
  out by S. I. Golubev during the restoration in the Russian Museum in 1986–1990, the research results of which
  definitely make it possible for a more substantive comparative analysis of the two icons.
