Description:

"Angels and Music" needs no explanation. In many cultures, angels are regarded as messengers of the divine and are associated with music. On this highly artistic pen, the angels are as light as air and beautifully pictured in the iconographic style. This masterpiece is by Yekaterina Shchanitsyna, a leading specialist in iconography.

Fedoskino, Palekh, Mstera and Kholui are known to connoisseurs the world over for their sublime lacquer miniatures. This art form developed in the early 18th century and, partly under the influence of the rich historical tapestry of folklore and iconography, it is now widely regarded as one of Russia's most distinctive artistic achievements. The leading artists who are experienced practitioners of the techniques of Fedoskino, Palekh and Mystera create very rare fountain pens in their individual speciality. Admire these extraordinary pens for yourself in the Gallery and start your collection.

The Palekh school is known for its use of tempera, goldleaf and lacquer. Tempera is a painting medium based on egg yolk. It dries fast and leaves little scope for colour gradations. Tempera is not the medium for realistic paintings but rather for fairytale scenes inspired by myths and legends with detailed compositions or thought-provoking images.
