About the icon
The Righteous Protector Betrothed of Virgin Mary
A just man of the house of David, Joseph was betrothed to the Virgin Mary and, warned by an angel in dreams, took her into his care, protected the newborn Christ and led the Holy Family into Egypt to escape Herod. Icons usually show him as an elder with a grey beard. He is commemorated on the Sunday after the Nativity of Christ, together with King David and James the Brother of the Lord. This Museum Edition faithfully reproduces the icon on a raised panel with a gold foil background.
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 Gold Foil with Gilding Effect 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.

Beautiful icon. The gilding effect is especially nice.
The only criticism I would mention is that unfortunately, the icon (the painted part) looks rather dark. The paint is not bright, and the fact that the colours used for the skin, the hair and the clothes are pale and of similar tones does not help. In dim light or a slightly off angle, the Saint is barely recognisable.
In good lighting though, the icon is very good looking. Overall, it is a good quality product for the price.
