360,00 €
Meaningful Iconography: The Holy Trinity (Троица).
The icon depicts one of the most emotional and profound plots of Christian art – the Holy Trinity, based on the classical iconography of Andrei Rublev. Three winged angels sit around a common table, symbolizing God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and their complete unity, love and harmony.
The chalice in the center and the symbols in the background (a house, an oak tree and a mountain) each carry their own spiritual meaning, creating a unique aura of peace and spiritual balance for the work. This is a timeless work of art, perfect for protecting your home or as a worthy gift.

Quoting Wikipedia: An icon (Greek εἰκών eikōn ‘figure’, ‘image’) is usually a painted image of a saint in the Eastern Church, depicting Jesus Christ, Mary, a saint, an angel, or a scene from sacred history or church history.
The base is dried, old wood that no longer cracks, which is why there are no burrs, which are usually made of raw wood on the base.
The best raw material is hardwood.
The primer is 6-8 layers of a mixture of chalk and gelatin, plus gauze. The colors are natural colored earths, which are mixed with an emulsion (egg yolk, water, wine).
Dark ochre, which is the main color, is obtained from Berlin, it is not available in Estonia.
This is followed by oiling with fast-drying linseed oil, which is good to do in the sun. Oiling and drying depend on the intensity of heating.
