I found this link with illustrations of the lives of Saints Peter and Fevronia. http://allrus.me/russian-saints-pyotr... They look as if they must come from a picture book, but I can't find any evidence (other than the illustrations) that such a book exists. Does anyone here recognize the illustrations, or know of the book?

I can't even find anything else helpful on Alexander Prostev, listed as the artist, except one brief excerpt on google books that only confirms there was an artist by that name.
Alas, I don't know, either.
I did move this to the "what's the name of this book??" folder and it might have a bit wider readership than the PBC folder. Hope you'll find your answer!

I don't believe there is a children's book. This page talks about a festschrift titled "The Image and the Word" which is 500+ pages on icon art. http://ekskursia-spb.ru/glavnaya/xudozhnik-aleksandr-evgenevich-prostev/
The artist himself seems to be active on this social media site:

Lovely paintings. Thanks for drawing this to my attention.
Michael, thank you! I don't read Russian, but this link is on the artist's social media site. Is it a children's picture book? A coffee table art book? Can you tell me what the title is in English? Thank you! http://www.ozon.ru/context/detail/id/...
Oh, look at this! This was on the Amazon-like book site, too. It has to be Peter and Fevronia! http://www.ozon.ru/context/detail/id/... Is it a picture book?
