About the icon
The Keeper of the Sheep
In the Gospel of John Christ calls Himself the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep, and in the parable of the lost sheep the shepherd leaves the ninety-nine to find the one. The image is among the earliest Christian depictions of the Lord, found in the catacombs of Rome. It shows Him bearing a lamb on His shoulders or among His flock, a reminder of His tenderness and guidance. 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. At the small sized icons a stand is also available. 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.
Each icon is made to order. Once your order is ready to ship, you will receive the retail receipt and the tracking information via email.

“Icona dai vividi colori, molto bella!!! Prodotta con l'Amore di Gesù. Grazie per l'arte bizantina e per il vostro lavoro. Ciao, Marcello.”
“I have purchased 3 icons from Agiografia and each icon is exceptional and very beautiful. The process of putting the gold down gives an inner light to the figures. Agiografia is the first place…”
