Byzantine Hand Painted Icon of Saint Aristides.
Saint Aristides came from Athens and had a philosophical education. He was baptized a Christian and acted in favor of the persecuted believers. He wrote the well-known "Apology of Aristides", which he presented to Emperor Hadrian in Rome.
Then, he was taken back to Athens and hanged in the Ancient Agora.
Hand-Painted Icons occupy a valuable place in ecclesiastical art because, beyond their obvious artistic value, a hand-painted icon unites man with the holiness of the depicted person.
For the Hand-Painted Icon of Saint Aristides, our experienced painters use traditional techniques and high-quality materials that offer excellent depiction and durability over time.
All our Hand-Painted Icons are painted with egg tempera, while you can choose the size of the icon, the decoration of the background, the language of the inscriptions as well as the type of wood you wish to use.
