Hand-Painted Romanian Icon of the Holy Family, 31x23 cm

Hand-Painted Romanian Icon of the Holy Family 31x23 cm. This orthodox icon of the Holy Family was crafted by expert Romanian painters using traditional iconographic techniques.

The artwork depicts Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus with expressions conveying tenderness and protection. Mary gently inclines her head towards Joseph, while the touching of hands between the three figures symbolizes the strong familial bond and the sacredness of the scene. Baby Jesus, portrayed upright, blesses the people with His right hand. The garments, painted in different colors, evoke the regality and spirituality of the depiction. The painting technique draws inspiration from a mosaic effect achieved through layers of color overlaid on a carefully prepared base. This method gives the surface a rich and luminous texture, enhancing the depth of the figures and the interplay of light and shadow typical of the Byzantine iconographic tradition. The icon comes with a certificate of originality and is presented in an elegant box, perfect for safekeeping or as a gift.
