In The Angel with Golden Hair, how is the abstract discussed?
The Angel with Golden Hair (Russian: Ангел Златые Власы, romanized: Angel Zlatye Vlasy), also known as the Archangel Gabriel (Russian: Архангел Гавриил), is a tempera icon by an unknown Russian artist, painted in the second half of the 12th century. It is displayed in the Russian Museum in Saint Petersburg.
The Angel with Golden Hair is the oldest Russian icon from the collection of the Russian Museum. Most experts attribute it to the Novgorod school of icon painting. What characterizes this icon is the golden hair with added gold leaf. For each hair of the angel a thin gold strip from a gold leaf was laid, which makes the hair shine with a celestial light, as the gold symbolizes the divine.
