Description from the seller
It is an icon from the twentieth century that represents Christ Pantocrator according to the tradition of the Greek school, with that frontal, hieratic solemnity and deeply theological that defines Orthodox iconography. The figure appears enthroned on a gold background that is not mere decoration, but the symbolic space of divine light: a gold that vibrates, that envelops, that separates the scene from the earthly world and places it in the sphere of the sacred.
Christ, with the cruciform nimbus and the traditional Greek inscriptions, raises his hand in a blessing gesture while holding the open book, where the letters Α and Ω condense the affirmation of eternity. The face, with defined lines and a direct gaze, maintains that mix of severity and compassion that characterizes well-executed icons: it does not seek to portray, but to reveal.
The painting is hand-made, following ancient techniques: firm drawing, dark outlines, layers of color applied with tempera and a modeling that combines rigidity and spirituality. The original wood, with its patina and its small traces of time, confirms the piece’s authenticity and its devotional use. It is not an industrial object, but an icon designed to accompany prayer, charged with intention and fidelity to tradition.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
