About the icon
The Glorious Prophet & Forerunner
Son of Zacharias and Elizabeth, John lived in the wilderness and called the people to repentance, then baptised Christ in the Jordan and pointed Him out as the Lamb of God. Icons show him in a garment of camel's hair, often with a scroll, and in the Deesis he stands beside Christ in prayer for the world. His Synaxis on 7 January, the day after Theophany, is a name day for all named Ioannis and Ioanna. 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.
