What Are Byzantine Icons?

/0 Comments/in

Byzantine icons are a type of religious art that originated in the Byzantine Empire, the easternmost section of the Roman Empire that was centered in Constantinople (now Istanbul) in the first millennium AD. These iconic images are usually of Jesus, Mary, and the saints and are often crafted in a distinctive style of art that has become known as “Byzantine.” The Art of the Icon follows this tradition closely with our handmade Byzantine icons crafted in Greece.
