In an opulent classical style, Jesus Christ is depicted enthroned in glory. The throne on which He sits is carved in a manner evocative of ancient Rome, while His rich brocaded robes resemble those of a Byzantine Emperor or a Russian Czar. His features are rendered in the traditional Byzantine manner, kindly and benevolent. The artist has created an impressive vision of spiritual glory manifested in terms of earthly splendor. This is a triumphant image of Jesus as the "Kingofthe World",acelebrationofenduringfaithandhope.-(PF.5177)Christthe King PF.5177Origin:St.Petersburg,Russia Circa:1700ADto1900ADDimensions:34.875" (88.6cm) high x 2.25" (5.7cm) wide Collection: Russian Icons Style: Russian Orthodox Medium: Tempera On Wood
