DIM.ARG - Byzantine Hagiography

DIM.ARG - Byzantine Hagiography

 

The existence of icons has been witnessed from the beginning of the 4th century AD. The Orthdox religious painting has been established worldwide as a from of art high-quality. Greece plays a leading part in the course of religious painting throughout the centuries as well as in Orthodox religion. As a follower of this tradition, I produce artistic icons with love for this art. Apart from hagiography, you can also find other pieces of art as well as anything else you wish to order.
