Icons (Ikons)
have formed an aspect of worship in the Christian tradition from
earliest times, with the first mention of the use of an icon
appearing in the apocryphal Acts of John. Early Christian
iconographers developed their images by including elements from
Greek, Roman and Egyptian art. In
iconography, the
robed figure of the bearded philosopher,
with fingers raised in a “teaching” gesture, and clasping a
book, was familiar throughout the ancient world, and it is not
surprising that this respected and venerated image should become
equated with that of Christ.
We
make paintings in many styles, including traditional
Russian,
Macedonian,
Catholic and Greek icons; naive folk icons in the
Czechoslovak and
Coptic styles, as well as religious paintings in the
classical and
renaissance traditions.
Subjects include: Jesus Christ The Virgin Eleousa
Hodegetria Madonna and Child Blessed Virgin
Mary Deposition Mandylion Holy Face Vernicle Deesis
Annunciation Man of Sorrows Crucifixion Descent from
the Cross Mother of God Queen of Heaven Angels Saints
