Jesus Christ - Embossed Wooden Icon on Canvas with Golden Background

Icon's History

The image of Christ Pantocrator fills all the great monasteries across the spectrum of Orthodoxy. On Mount Athos, the icon of Christ as Pantocrator can be found in almost all the monasteries, representing different iconographic schools since the early 13th century. The icon of Christ Pantocrator located at the Holy Monastery of Vatopedi was painted in the 14th century and belongs to a group of rare Byzantine icons. One of its distinctive features is the intense gaze, which, while outwardly focused, gives the impression that it turns inward to the inner world and thoughts.

 

Icon Materials

• The images are constructed from copper, silver-plated with 999/1000 silver, and gold-plated with Au 24-karat gold.
• The frames on the images with glass are made of synthetic material to avoid woodworm or other parasites. They do not require a pest control certificate.
• The rest are made from MDF, lined with high-quality veneer.
• The faces are silk-screen printed or, where this is not possible in order to accurately depict the face, digitally printed with UV colors that remain unchanged over time.
