#hexameron

The antique Orthodox icon of the Hexahemeron that you can see in the picture is a fine piece of Russian iconography made in the middle of the 19th century. The multi-layered composition of the icon consists of several parts and depicts six creation scenes, six Feasts, and a constellation of holy figures, including the Evangelists, Monastic saints, Metropolitans, Church Fathers, and Fools-for-Christ. The Hexahemeron, which is the term for six days of biblical creation, is the main theme and the prime focus of the presented work.

Hexameron, Biblia Latina, Nicolas Jenson, 1480 ca.

Otargos - Hexameron 

"Hexameron", named after the Koine Greek word for the six days of creation, was a collaborative work by Franz Liszt, who was the progenitor of the work, and Chopin, Czerny, Herz, Pixis, and Thalberg. It was commissioned for a benefit concert for the poor in 1837, but was not finished on time. If only there were benefit concerts nowadays as cool as this would have been.
