EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable "Portrait of Anthony the Great" icon, painted by Michael Damaskenos in the 16th century. The portrait depicts Anthony the Great, also known as Antony, a revered figure in Byzantine and Christian history. Anthony was an Egyptian hermit who dedicated his life to asceticism and spiritual contemplation in the desert. The intricate details of this painting are truly awe-inspiring. Damaskenos skillfully captures not only Anthony's physical features but also his inner spirituality and wisdom. Set against a radiant gold background, the portrait exudes a sense of divine presence. Displayed at the Byzantine and Christian Museum in Athens, Greece, this artwork is a testament to both Greek tradition and religious devotion. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that has shaped our understanding of faith throughout history. Leonard de Selva's expert photography beautifully captures every brushstroke and nuance of this iconic piece. Through his lens, we can appreciate not only its artistic value but also its profound religious significance. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness the enduring legacy left by figures like Saint Anthony – individuals whose unwavering commitment to their beliefs continues to inspire generations today.
