Pantokrator Russian icon restored hand painted dark frame 35x27 cm

Pantokrator Russian icon restored hand painted dark frame 35x27 cm. This Russian icon, painted on wood, represents one of the most iconic images of the Orthodox tradition: Christ Pantokrator. Christ is illustrated sitting on a throne, in a frontal and hieratic position, symbol of his majesty and divine authority. With his right hand, he makes a gesture of blessing according to the Orthodox/Byzantine rite, while in his left he holds the Gospel open, a choice of the Orthodox Church to expose significant verses to the faithful. The Greek letters in the halo point to the One Who Is, emphasizing the divine nature of Christ. The face of Christ, characterized by an intense expression, conveys the depth of the incarnate divinity, while distinctive features such as the hair parted in the center and the serious face accentuate his solemnity and his role as judge and redeemer. This icon is a specimen of great spiritual and artistic value, ideal for those seeking a profound symbol of faith and devotion in their collection or sacred space.
