Sacred Icons
In ancient times the iconographers were monks
o men of the Church and even today the artist
who createsthe icon is a man or woman of faith,
believer, who is inspired by God so that
may his work be a manifestation of his glory.
Icons made by contemporary iconographers
come essentially from the regions of
Christian Orthodox culture, where there are
schools that pass on the technique e
the meaning (Russia, Greece, Romania, Bulgaria).
Russian icons and Greek icons are the most
known and often the most valuable.
There are various techniques for making sacred icons, characteristic of different schools and different artists. The hand-painted icons are obviously the most valuable, as they are absolutely unique works of art. Their cost is justified by their intrinsic value, which increases over time. Screen-printed icons, on the other hand, are an excellent alternative for those looking for an icon characterized by high graphic quality, but at an affordable price.
The sacred icons are unique handcrafted reproductions and for this reason have slight differences in the features and colors, which make them easily recognizable as original.
