Two Romanov icons that I own.

 

"It’s difficult to write about anything cheerful, because there’s all too little cheerfulness here. On the other hand, God doesn’t abandon us. The sun shines, the birds sing, and this morning we heard the bells sounding matins." - Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna Romanova

 

Another Dmitry Shmarin painting.

Dmitry Shmarin Painting

    Recently I was watching this video on The Romanov Royal Martyrs YouTube channel and in the video there were brief glimpses of a lovely painting by Dmitry Shmarin (I hope I'm spelling that right). I can't for the life of me find anything more about this painting. I've included screenshots below.

   It's a beautiful painting and I'd like to know more about it.

God Bless the Royal Martyrs.
