Saint Apostle Mark

The Evangelist | Apostle of Egypt

Mark wrote the second of the four Gospels and, according to ancient tradition, was a close companion of Saint Peter, whose preaching his Gospel records. He carried the faith to Egypt and became the first bishop of Alexandria, where he died a martyr. His symbol in iconography is the lion, and he is often shown seated, writing his Gospel. He is commemorated on 25 April and honoured as founder of the Church of Alexandria. This Museum Edition faithfully reproduces the icon on a flat 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, 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.
