    The Museum has acquired ten exceptional Russian icons from prominent private collectors in Germany and Holland. Dr. Marc Loerke - a prestigious icon dealer in Germany representing the Museum - identified and negotiated with 2 important European collectors to facilitate this stunning acquisition of ten significant Russian icons. Their subject and content are new to the Museum and round out the collection. The exhibition includes a significant, late 15th century icon from northern Russia titled, Three Hierarchs: Saint Basil the Great, Saint Gregory and Saint John Chrysostomos, represents the three Patriarchs of the Orthodox Church. Icons from the 1400s are extremely rare and prized. Three Hierarchs is in excellent condition, depicts pivotal subject matter and is a highlight of the new exhibition.
