The Nikola Lipensky of Saint Nicholas in the Lipno Church is dated to 1294, a date confirmed by both an inscription on the lower margin of the icon and a mention in the Novgorod Third Chronicle. The inscription was reproduced during a restoration in 1556 and contains the names of the patron who commissioned the icon and the icon painter, as well as the prince, archbishop, and posadnik (mayor). The icon follows traditional Byzantine iconography; however, the vestments and their ornamentation display Romanesque features, suggesting that Aleksa Petrov was a native of Novgorod who was familiar with the Catholic art of Western Europe.
