Russian style icon of the Unfading Flower, painted with gold leaf, 11.8x9.8 in.
This icon is entirely handmade following the tradition of the Byzantine iconographic school, using the egg tempera technique on wood and gold leaf to enhance every detail with light and intensity.
The subject depicts the Madonna with Child, surrounded by numerous sacred and poetic symbols that allude to her purity and greatness: the royal throne, the altar, the gate of Paradise, the heavenly garden, the open book of Wisdom, the red and gold tent, and the lit lamp. Mary holds a blossoming scepter, while Baby Jesus holds the royal scepter, both wearing precious crowns and richly decorated garments with golden and brocade motifs.
Each element has been painted with great care, offering a spiritually rich and beautiful work of art.
The icon is delivered in an elegant blue velvet case, internally lined with blue satin and equipped with a drawstring closure, making it perfect even as a gift for special occasions.
