Description
Hand-painted Greek Orthodox icon of St Archangel Gabriel Size: 30cm x 22cm x 3.5cm (11.81″ x 8.66″ x 1.38″) Materials: egg tempera, gold leaf, thick natural wood panel, varnish Technique: egg tempera, gilding The icon is painted using traditional technique - egg tempera on wood. For the background we use 24 karat genuine gold leaf. Upon request we can do polished gold gilding (burnishing) with an agate stone thereby obtaining a mirror-brilliant & very smooth effect. The engravings are made entirely by hand using special iconography tools. The wood board is traditionally covered with a linen cloth & several layers of gesso (levkas). At the end the board is sanded to a smooth finish. After the painting process is completed, several layers of varnish are applied for long lasting protection. We accept commissions & custom requests. Need a larger size icon or like another image better? No problem, just send us a message. Feel free to contact us if you need more information & we will be happy to help. Thank you! Gold leaf is made in Italy by Giusto Manetti. Archangel Gabriel Icon, Hand-Painted Greek Orthodox Icon Of St Gabriel, Hand Made By Iconographer, Byzantine Iconography | Free Dhl Express
