Holy Icon

Christ the Great Archpriest, egg tempera on wooden board, 1999.

The Person of Christ influenced art in this way: as a living presence of Christ within the Eucharist and as a painted narration of this event on the walls of the liturgical space within which the Eucharist took place. It is thus worth investigating this specific phenomenon, what new impetus this special congregation of men gave to painting in the way that it lived and experienced Christ through time and depicted Him in icons.
