Ancient icons seized from Father Henryk Akalatovich were taken to the National Art Museum and put up for auction
These are two icons.
Henryk Akalatovich
In Belarus, two icons were put up for state auction, with Akalatovich Henadz Uladzislavavich (the secular name of Father Henryk) listed as the debtor for the lot, writes "Christian Vision".
We are talking about two icons:
«Saint Julian, Bishop of Cenomanus» (19th — early 20th century; wood, oil; 52.8 × 30 cm). The description notes that the subject is rare and represents historical interest as an object of cultural heritage. The starting price of the lot is 700 BYN, bidding is on May 14. The location of the icon in the lot card: Minsk, Lenin St., 20 (National Art Museum).
«Resurrection of Christ from the Tomb» (second half — late 18th century; wood, oil; 31 × 31 cm). The icon is a European variant of the "Resurrection of Christ" subject, probably created for the festive tier of an iconostasis. It belongs to examples of religious painting in the academic style. It has historical and artistic significance and represents interest as an object of cultural heritage. The starting price of the lot is 4000 BYN, bidding is on May 14. The location of the icon in the lot card: Minsk, Lenin St., 20.
This is a continuation of the story with the property of Catholic priest Henryk Akalatovich: after his release and forced departure from Belarus, the authorities, by court decision, continued the confiscation of property to repay "alleged debts".
It was previously reported that his car was seized and put up for sale (it was sold) and a small plot of land (they tried to sell it, but no buyers were found). Now church valuables — icons — have appeared in the list of seized property.
