SOLD Created by American iconographer Brother Simeon Davis, this original icon of the Throne of Heaven exemplifies the radiant colors, fine detail, and fidelity to classical iconography that has made the Monastery Icons collection the most beloved Christian art over the past forty-one years. It depicts Christ and the Blessed Virgin seated in a common celestial throne, together holding a royal scepter. The icon was originally displayed in the apse of a sanctuary, which accounts for the bevelled angles at the top left and right corners. This icon is one of a kind and will no longer be available once it is sold.

This icon is painted on 1/4-inch non-tempered artist's hardboard measuring 53.75" wide x 43.2" tall. The artist used matte fluid acrylics which replicate classic egg tempera. The background is gold leaf. The icon has a protective artist's grade acrylic varnish. Oak frame available for $175, requires some refinishing. Glass not included, because of the danger of breakage in transport.

Purchase or transfer of ownership of this icon does not convey any rights in the work itself. Oak frame not included.
