The Crucifixion icon, Jesus Christ Holy Cross Handmade Greek Orthodox icon, Byzantine art wall hanging wood plaque icon, religious gift

A beautiful lithography with the representation of the Crucifixion. Jesus on the cross of martyrdom with Virgin Mary staring at Her Son with agony and deep pain because of His suffering on the cross for the sake of mankind. At the left side there is Saint John, the favorite Apostle of Jesus, who stands helpless and watches the Crucifixion. The Crucifixion of Jesus is the ultimate act of love from God towards humanity. Jesus Christ sacrificed Himself and offered to all people atonement and salvation. Crucifixion is one of the most common iconographic themes, as it contains strong symbolism.

In this artwork the technique of lithography is used, creating a unique work of beauty. Based on a lithographed copy of Byzantine art, the hagiographer painted this work abiding to the traditional method of artificial ageing, as taught in the iconography workshops of the Athonian State. In fact, the artificial ageing of the iconography is handmade, a process given particular attention by the monks of Mount Athos.

Can be hung on a wall or placed on a flat surface.

The item is sold without the stand depicted.
