Info and features
Hand-painted Russian-style icon of Saint Luke the Evangelist, 11.8x9.8 in.
Sacred icon made by hand following the tradition of Russian iconography, executed on linden wood using egg tempera and enriched with gold leaf.
The scene shows Saint Luke seated before an easel, contemplating and painting the image of the Virgin and Child, in keeping with the ancient tradition that recognises him as the first Marian iconographer.
The Saint is depicted with a golden halo, wearing a brown tunic and an enveloping mantle; his gaze is focused on the panel he supports with one hand while holding the painting brush in the other.
An architectural setting of an arch and columns frames the scene and evokes the sacred space, while the closed book on the table alludes to his evangelistic work.
The composition emphasises the contemplative and creative act of the evangelist, uniting prayer and art in the making of the sacred image.
The icon is supplied in an elegant blue velvet presentation box with a satin interior.

Borja E.7/7/2026Sin duda un tema poco habitual en el icono, y por eso mejor acogido. El hombre como instrumento de expresión de la palabra gráfica del Eterno. Fascinante. Gracias.
