About the icon
The announcement by Archangel Gabriel to Virgin Mary
The Annunciation recalls the moment Archangel Gabriel greeted the Virgin Mary in Nazareth and she gave her free consent to become the Mother of God. The icon shows the archangel approaching, hand raised in greeting, while the Theotokos receives the message, often holding the scarlet thread she was spinning for the Temple veil. Celebrated on 25 March, it is also Greece's national holiday and a cherished name-day icon for Evangelos and Evangelia. This Museum Edition faithfully reproduces the icon on a raised panel, its background laid by hand in matte gold leaf.
This is an authentic icon crafted according to Byzantine technique and style. All parts are made by hand and only the theme is reproduced using Advanced Museum Standards Technique.
Once the natural wood panel is cut to the desired dimensions, our skilled craftsmen meticulously apply the Matte Gold Leaves on the background. Then the theme is directly printed on the prepared surface, resulting to an exquisite work of art.
At the back of the icon, a mounting point is installed, accompanied by our Certificate of Authenticity and Quality. All of our artworks bear the studio’s distinctive title and logo.
A thorough quality inspection takes place before we secure the package with durable protective materials to ensure safe delivery.
