About the icon
The Empress and Equal to the Apostles
Helen, mother of the emperor Constantine, supported the faith in the newly Christian empire and travelled to the Holy Land, where tradition tells that she found the Cross of Christ and founded churches at the holy places. Icons show her in imperial robes and crown, often holding the Cross and frequently beside her son. Mother and son share a feast on 21 May, a name day widely kept by those named Eleni and Konstantinos. This Gallery Print reproduces the icon on a flat panel with an aged gold foil finish.
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 Gold Foil Print Technique.
Once the wood panel is cut to the desired dimensions, our skilled craftsmen meticulously apply the theme with the Gold Foil background, 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.
