Jesus Christ – Pyrography – Mount Athos

Description

Pyrography is an art form that attracts many artists due to the impressive results it can achieve. It is a painting technique that uses two elements of nature: wood and fire. With patience and attention to detail, artists create pyrographic images, paying great attention to avoiding mistakes, as they cannot be corrected like with pencil.

Pyrography has gained significant popularity among iconographers as well. Many artists, utilizing even wood from the Garden of the Virgin (Mount Athos), burn the wood on which they will depict sacred figures.

A unique pyrographic depiction of Jesus Christ wearing the crown of thorns from His Passion is available from “Agioritiki Kleronomia” (Mount Athos Heritage).

The image is available upon request.
