The triptych Archangel Michael and the Saint Apostles Peter and Pavel — a work of art of the first ha lf of the 19th century. In the present article the author points out the value of a work of art from the first half of the 19th century — the triptych Archangel Michael and the Saint Apostles Peter and Pavel. The origin of this icon is not identified. We think that the triptych was painted by a professional — the icon painter might have had thorough training in Russia or Ukraine. The technique of execution is in oil on wood. As a result of a thorough analysis we can remark that the icon painter managed to create a work of real artistic value. The triptych conveys a special atmosphere due to the permeability of the icon painter to the influence of Italian Renaissance and European Baroque. The icon makes a great impression by its composition, well‑proportioned treatment of the figures, the vertuality of the drawing, the colour scheme, the image plastic.
