Mandylion di Edessa
Available
Igorski paints Orthodox icons following the oldest models and techniques: the face is not the artist's invention but the transmission of a thousand-year-old canon. This Mandylion is conceived as a home icon: compact format on a lime wood board with a kovcheg, suited to a home prayer corner or as a gift for someone seeking an authentic, hand-painted icon.
The face of Christ, imprinted not by human hand, follows here the legend of Edessa: King Abgar, gravely ill, was healed at the sight of the cloth on which Christ's face had been miraculously imprinted.
Made in professional vinyl tempera on a lime wood board with a kovcheg.
A commissioned icon: from € 100
