Antiqued Lithograph of Saint Nicholas

Antiqued Lithograph: Features

In this particular image, the monk iconographer used the lithography technique to create a uniquely beautiful work, adorned with gold leaf around the edges. Specifically, using a lithographed copy of Byzantine art, the monk created 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 give special importance.

Origin: Mount Athos
