Description

Created by the hand of American iconographer Brother Simeon Davis, this original icon of Saint Teresa of Avila 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 thirty-three years. This icon is one of a kind and will no longer be available once it is sold.

Based on a contemporary portrait of the great Carmelite reformer and Doctor of the Church, Brother Simeon shows Saint Teresa holding a scroll with a quote from her writrings.

This icon is painted on 1/4-inch non-tempered artist's hardboard measuring 26" x 48". The artist used matte fluid acrylics which replicate classic egg tempera. The background is hand applied 23 kt gold leaf applied using the varnish gilt method. The icon has a protective artist's grade arcylic varnish. Created in the year 1993, the painting includes the artist's "signature" in tiny letters: "By the hand of Simeon 1993," as is traditional in iconography. There is also a small scroll which reads "with the prayers of Teresa" in honor of the patron who commissioned the icon.
