Description

Crucifixion – Serigraph on Naturally Aged Wood

A stunning serigraph featuring the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

This remarkable icon depicts the central image of the Crucifixion, surrounded by angels and scenes from events that preceded the Passion. At the center stands the Cross of the Passion, with the Virgin Mary positioned beneath it to the right, and to the left, the beloved disciple of Christ, Saint John the Theologian.

The Crucifixion of Christ is regarded as the ultimate sacrifice, an unparalleled act of love by Jesus for all of humanity. This is why the cross is the most important symbol of the Orthodox Church and Christianity in general, as it recalls the Crucifixion of Jesus and the salvation of mankind through His Passion and death. It symbolizes both Christ Himself and the faith of Christians.

The image is mounted on naturally aged wood, showcasing distinct cracks that bear witness to its authenticity and age. The piece stands out not only for its profound subject matter and the exquisite portrayal of the Crucifixion and surrounding events but also for the craftsmanship of the monk who created it, and the wood itself, which originates from a restored cell in Mount Athos.

Please note: As the icon is handmade and the wood is processed by hand, there may be slight variations in the wood, though not in the depiction.
