The Menil Collection in Houston houses one of the most important collections of Byzantine and Russian icons in the United States - a collection that spans over one thousand years, from the 7th to the 18th century. Understanding the power of this art form, seldom recognized outside of Russia and Greece, Dominique de Menil assembled the collection in the 1980s and introduced these exceptional examples to the United States. "Imprinting the Divine" presents sixty of these exquisite works in full colour, many of which have never been published, accompanied by compelling descriptions and essays that explore the history and artistry of these precious images.
