Greek silk screen icon, Holy Trinity of Rublev, 9.5x7 in. Icon made in the old traditional Byzantin style on canvas and old wood in Greece.
The icon represents the apparition of the Holy Trinity to Abraham, announcing him and his wife Sarah that they will finally have a child. The three angels represents the Father of the left, Jesus in the centre and the Holy Spirit on the right, with a chalice, symbol of Christ's sacrifice, in the centre of the composition. They wear a halo, attribute that was reserved, in the traditional sacred art, to saints, angels and souls of the deceased savec in Heaven.
The colours have a remarquable symbolic importance: gold is the symbol of royalty, wore by God and partially by Jesus with his stole, symbol of his royal priesthood; red is sacrifice, wore by Jesus; green is the symbol of life, wore by the Holy Spirit; blue means eternal life, used for each of the three characters.
Made in the old traditional Byzantin style on canvas and old wood in Greece.
