Saints Apostles Peter and Paul

The chiefs of the Apostles and bold preachers of the Gospel

Peter, the fisherman whom Christ called to be a fisher of men, and Paul, the persecutor who became the Apostle to the Gentiles, both bore witness to Christ in Rome, where tradition holds they were martyred under Nero. Icons show Peter with short grey hair, often holding keys or a scroll, and Paul with a high forehead and dark beard, holding a book; they often embrace. They are commemorated on 29 June. 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.
