Authentic icon "Crucifixion" (triptych)

Authentic, handmade icon "Crucifixion" (triptych)

The "Crucifixion" of Our Lord Jesus Christ is one of the most tragic images created by the ancient icon painters. Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross - the Son of God and the Son of Man, sacrificed as a slain lamb for the atonement of sins and the salvation of people. The imaginary space is recreated through the golden background of the icon. In it, the cross rises from the ground to the sky with the God-man crucified on it - like a bridge connecting the earthly and heavenly kingdoms. Because only the Crucifixion can raise man from his vain happy life to experience eternity. The Savior seems to embrace the world with his hands nailed to the cross. The beauty of the Image is not lost, there are no traces of physical torture on his Body, only the sorrow in the expression and movements of those around him, recreates the moment.

The icon is created using materials and paints according to the original technology for making of Orthodox icons. Gold leaf, patina, and cracking varnish were used, to make the icon look even more authentic. The icon is painted with egg tempera paint, as per the traditional technology for icon painting.

This lovely work of art is signed by the artist, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
