Hand-painted Romanian Archangel Gabriel icon, purple robe, 7.1x5.9 in, antiqued style.
Hand-painted Romanian icon of Archangel Gabriel in a purple robe, executed in an antiqued style. The icon was painted by artists specialised in Byzantine iconography, trained according to the traditional canons of this ancient sacred art.
The Archangel is depicted half-length, wearing a purple garment and holding a scroll in his left arm, a symbol of the divine message he bears. Above his head his name is inscribed in Greek letters, following Eastern iconographic usage and underlining the work's connection with tradition. Archangel Gabriel is the angel of the Annunciation, bearer of God's Word who accompanies decisive moments in the history of salvation; he is often invoked as guide, support and messenger of hope.
The icon is supplied in an elegant red case lined with white satin to protect it during transport and preserve it over time.
The painting is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity bearing the painter's signature and confirming the handcrafted nature of the work.
