Ancient Christian Sacred Art in the Byzantine-Russian Tradition
Writing this icon is a labor-intensive process employing several dozen layers of thin milky glazes of egg-tempera paint, 23 karat gold leaf, and linseed oil sealant culminating in one to two months of prayerful work for each icon.
Iconography is a material art-form developed to proclaim the spiritual reality of God’s presence. Grace is not a cloak covering man, but rather the very divine life transforming from within.
