Christ Blessing – Aged Lithograph – Mount Athos

Description

Antiqued Lithograph with Christ Blessing

An exact replica of the original image crafted on natural fir wood. This beautiful antiqued lithograph depicts Christ Blessing, with His right hand raised in blessing to the faithful. Jesus Christ offers His blessing to humanity, to those for whom He came into the world, suffered, and was ultimately crucified. He gave His life to save and deliver mankind from sin, corruption, and death. Christ never denies His blessing to anyone, and He was the one who always approached not only the righteous but also the lost, to stand by them and show them the path of God. With His hand, He blesses the whole world, showing His boundless love for each person individually.

Lithograph – Features

The lithography technique is taught in the iconography workshops of Mount Athos and is also used by several monks to create exceptional works of art. In this case, the iconographer monk used a lithographed copy of Byzantine art and crafted this piece following the traditional method of hand-aging. Thus, he created a beautiful work with unique aesthetic value. The wood has been treated with appropriate materials to ensure the long-lasting durability of the colors over time.
