About the icon
The Theologian & Evangelist | The Beloved Disciple
A fisherman and son of Zebedee, John was called with his brother James and witnessed the Transfiguration and the agony in Gethsemane. At the Cross Christ entrusted the Theotokos to his care. He wrote the Fourth Gospel, three Epistles and the Book of Revelation, and his teaching on the divine Word earned him the title Theologian. He is commemorated on 26 September and 8 May, and his evangelist symbol is the eagle. This Museum Edition faithfully reproduces the icon on a framed panel, its background laid by hand in 22k 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 Premium Museum Standards Technique.
Once the wood panel is cut to the desired dimensions, our skilled craftsmen meticulously apply the 22 karats Gold Leaves on the background. Then the theme is directly printed on the prepared surface. Finally the icon is placed into a wooden frame with protecting glass 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.
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.
