Description
Greek Icon: The Saintly Warrior on Horseback in Tempera and Silver Repoussé
Late 18th-century Greek religious iconography, depicting St. Menas, astride a horse. The medium includes both tempera paint on wood and a silver repoussé overlay, highlighting the intricate detailing of the saint's attire and the horse's embellishments. The silver work, a characteristic technique of the period, involves the meticulous shaping and detailing of silver sheets to create the raised and textured effects visible on the panel. The composition, preserved within an aged wooden frame, illustrates the interplay of spiritual representation and artisan skill prevalent in Greek orthodox religious art of this era.

Size: Approx: 10 x 7 x 1 1/4 in. (25.4 x 17.8 x 3.2 cm.)
