Icon - Saint Demetrius - Wood

Small, old Greek icon 'St. Demitrios' from the 20th century.

The icon was completely handmade on a wooden panel, according to ancient methods of icon painting. It was painted as faithfully as possible to the original, using the traditional materials—egg tempera, fabric, old wood and gold ground.

A truly striking and exceptional icon with very detailed painting and many additional details (see photos).

Perfectly coordinated color contrasts and well-executed shading. The faces and garments of the saints are particularly striking.

The icon is in good condition with typical, age-related signs of wear (see photos).

The painting shows very beautiful and authentic age-related craquelure (see photos). Stable wooden panel.

A unique icon from the past century.

All details are clearly visible in the photos. The photos are part of the description.
