EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 16th-century wooden icon, depicting Christ in Majesty, is a breathtaking work of art from the iconostasis of the Church of St. Demetrius of Kola in Zante, Greece. The Byzantine Museum in Zante is home to this exquisite piece, which showcases the rich history and religious significance of the Ionian Islands. Christ is depicted as the ruling King of the Universe, seated on a magnificent throne. His aureole, or halo, radiates an aura of divine light, emphasizing his divine nature. The intricately painted details of his robes and the ornate throne are a testament to the skill and artistry of the Byzantine craftsmen who created this masterpiece. The open book in Christ's hands symbolizes the Gospel, emphasizing his role as the Word of God. The throne is adorned with intricate carvings and gold leaf, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the Byzantine Empire. This icon is a prime example of the Byzantine artistic tradition, which flourished during the Middle Ages and continued to influence art and culture in the Eastern Orthodox world. The iconostasis, or icon screen, of the Church of St. Demetrius of Kola, of which this icon is a part, is a significant historical and artistic treasure, providing a glimpse into the religious and cultural heritage of Greece during the Byzantine period.
