Russian style hand-painted Icon of Christ Pantocrator 20x15 cm on linden wood

Russian style hand-painted Icon of Christ Pantocrator 20x15 cm on linden wood. This religious icon depicts Christ Pantocrator in a half-length portrait, hand-painted following the Byzantine tradition with great artistic care. He is clothed in a white robe with delicate pink shades, wrapped in a green mantle that elegantly stands out against the golden background. In his left hand, he holds the open book of Sacred Scriptures, while blessing the people with his right hand: his fingers are arranged in the traditional gesture of blessings, with the ring finger and little finger close together, symbolizing the Trinity and the dual nature of Christ. What makes this icon unique is the quality of the handiwork: every stroke, every brushstroke reveals the attention and dedication of the artisan. The background, with applied gold leaf, provides light and depth, and in backlight, one can appreciate the subtle overlays of the latter, enhancing the image with luminous reflections. Finally, the orthodox icon is protected by a protective varnish, preserving its colors and details over time, giving it a slightly matte finish. A simple yet special piece, ideal for those seeking a meaningful and beautiful representation of Christ, created with authentic craftsmanship. Icon size: 20x15 cm with a thickness of 2.5 cm. The Christ Pantocrator icon has been crafted on linden wood.
