Aged-Wooden Byzantine Icon of the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ.
The Transfiguration of Jesus Christ is one of the most important miracles of Jesus Christ as it reveals his divinity and manifests His miraculous power.
According to the Gospels, the disciples John, James and Peter went up the mountain with Jesus Christ to pray. In order to rest they fell into a deep sleep. When they awoke they saw Jesus Christ dressed in white vestments shining with light. Next to him, standing upright, were the Prophets Moses and Elijah.
Matthew 17, The Transfiguration
After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.
The aging technique is meticulously applied to the Icon by hand and gives it the look of time while the depiction retains its artistic details.
Around the perimeter, the aging becomes more apparent with frayed edges that give the Icon a distinctive appearance.
During the final processing, the Aged-Wooden Icon of the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ is polished with a special varnish to withstand time.
Note: The final Icon may slightly differ from the catalog photo.
