Description

Aged Serigraph of Jesus Christ Blessing

An exquisite aged serigraph created on natural fir wood, depicting Christ Blessing, who raises His right hand to bless the faithful. Jesus Christ offers His blessing to the people, for those for whom He came into the world, suffered, and was ultimately crucified.

He gave His life to save and rescue mankind from sin, corruption, and death. Christ never denied His blessing to anyone, and He was the one who always approached not only the righteous but also the wayward to stand beside them and show them the path of God. With His hand, He blesses the whole world, demonstrating His boundless love for each person individually.

Serigraph – Characteristics

The serigraph is a particularly widespread technique in iconography, and it is taught and used in many iconography workshops, including those of Mount Athos. In fact, in icons created using this technique, the monks use traditional methods, meaning the iconographer paints a large part of the icon by hand, with minimal technological involvement. The aging technique of the icons is also handmade, adding collectible value to these works. These are precise replicas of Byzantine art, with a strong charm of the old. The icon is painted with materials of exceptional quality on natural wood, and the painted surface is covered with pure beeswax to ensure that the colors of the icon remain unchanged over time.
