EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Christ in Majesty: A Byzantine Masterpiece by Angelos Masketis" This photograph showcases a wooden iconostasis, a sacred screen that separates the nave from the sanctuary in Orthodox Christian churches, created by the renowned Greek artist Angelos Masketis in 1683. The iconostasis is housed in the Church of the Pantocratoras, located on the Ionian Island of Zante, Greece. At the center of this grand artwork is the figure of Christ in Majesty, depicted as a seated figure with a serious expression and outstretched hands in a gesture of blessing. Surrounding Him are the four Evangelists, represented as angels with the symbols of their respective gospels: Matthew, symbolized by a winged man; Mark, represented by a winged lion; Luke, represented by a winged ox or bull; and John, represented by a winged eagle. The intricately carved and painted wooden iconostasis is a testament to the rich history and symbolism of Byzantine art. The tetramorph, a symbol of the four living creatures described in the Bible, is depicted at the top of the iconostasis, with a man, an eagle, a lion, and a bull surrounding the throne of God. The use of gold leaf and vibrant colors adds to the opulence and grandeur of the piece, while the intricate details of the carvings and the delicate brushstrokes of the paintings demonstrate the skill and artistry of Angelos Masketis. This photograph offers a glimpse into the religious and historical significance of Byzantine art and the enduring influence of Greek culture. The iconostasis serves as a reminder of the deep spiritual connection between the people of Zante and their faith, as well as the rich artistic heritage that continues to inspire and captivate visitors to this day.
