About the icon
The mother of Jesus Christ
Deesis means 'supplication'. In the full composition Christ is enthroned at the centre, with the Theotokos on one side and Saint John the Baptist on the other, both inclined towards him in intercession. On her own, the Virgin is shown in three-quarter view with her hands raised towards Christ. The icon expresses the Church's trust in her prayers and suits a home corner of prayer. 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.

Beautiful as always, worth the wait.
From the sleek website with a good search engine for size and theme, to perfect shipping information and package protection and especially the quality and beauty of the icon, the experience is flawless. The icon is beautifully crafted and (no pun intended) divine. The colors are vivid and the figure is beautiful and awe inspiring. I also really appreciated the little note that came with. I cannot wait to see my mother open the package at Christmas. This one was a gift but the icon will sit in my home.
Beautiful icon in wonderful luxury case. I've bought it as a present for a dear friend and I'm sure she's going to be delighted. Prompt service too so overall would strongly recommend Agiografia. Good people.
