Aged Lithograph: Characteristics

In this particular image, the monk iconographer used the technique of lithography to create a work of unique beauty, adorned with golden details around the halos of both the Theotokos and Jesus. Specifically, using a lithographed copy of Byzantine art, the monk crafted this piece following the traditional method of artificial aging, as taught in the iconography workshops of the Athonite State. Moreover, the artificial aging of the icon is handmade, a process to which the monks of Mount Athos pay particular attention.

The icon is available upon request.
