Byzantine Art dates back to a period in time when Christianity
was at it's Peak in many ways. The paintings of this period focused around The Sacred
Arts. Incense making, Devotional Architecture, and the paintings of Christ, his Disciples,
and the various Saints. In Byzantine Icons the eyes are large as is the head for we learn
in many different paths to learn one must watch everything closely, and think before
acting. The mouth is small as one again should Listen rather than speak, unless something
really needed to be said. You'll find that many of the Icons depict dark skin as Christ,
and most of the 'group' were Arabs. So these things are based on Fact rather than the
illusion of fiction.
After all Christ was a Jew.
Here are a few Icons, the originals of which are from a couple to several hundreds of years old. If you are interested in copies, we import them from Greece, cost and sizes vary, 3 x 4 inch are $10 while larger are $25 - 45. As we receive them, we'll display them with information and pricing.
