Saint Luke the Evangelist icon, Russian style, hand-painted. Orthodox icon made by hand following the tradition of Russian iconography, executed on linden wood with egg tempera and gold leaf. The scene depicts Saint Luke seated at an easel, contemplating and painting the image of the Virgin and Child, in accordance with the ancient tradition that recognizes him as the first Marian iconographer.

An architectural setting of arch and columns frames the scene and evokes the sacred space, while the closed book on the table alludes to his evangelical work. The composition highlights the evangelist’s contemplative and creative act, uniting prayer and art in the making of the sacred image. The Saint Luke the Evangelist icon is supplied in an elegant blue velvet box lined with satin.
