This precious orthodox icon depicts Christ Pantocrator half-length, hand-painted in the tradition of the Byzantine school, with extraordinary craftsmanship. Christ wears an orange robe with light silver shades and is wrapped in a green mantle that stands out intensely against the golden background. In his left hand, he holds the open Book of Sacred Scriptures, while blessing the people with his right hand. The fingers are arranged in the traditional gesture of blessing, with the ring finger and pinky together symbolizing the Trinity and the dual nature of Christ. What truly makes this work unique is the refined craftsmanship: every stroke, every brushstroke testifies to the experience and dedication of the master iconographer. The background is created with hand-applied gold leaf, which provides light, depth, and precious reflections visible in backlight thanks to the subtle overlays. The religious icon is protected by a transparent final varnish, preserving its colors, details, and brilliance over time. Dimensions: 30x25 cm with a thickness of 3 cm. Support: carefully sanded and prepared lime wood. A work of faith and beauty, ideal for those seeking a deep, symbolic representation of Christ crafted with authentic mastery.
