The History and Symbolism of Iconography
Who was the first iconographer and what were the first subjects for iconography? Learn about the birth and growth of this sacred art form, and the meaning and logic behind this stylized spiritual art.
How an Icon is Created
To create this online video we photographed successive stages of the creation of our latest icon, a portrait of the Holy Family. This 1¾-minute video gives you a time-lapse overview of each stage as a window into heaven is opened before your eyes.
How an Icon is Painted
ICONOGRAPHY IS THE OLDEST TRADITION of Christian sacred art, embodying the work of thousands of iconographers, many of whom were themselves saints. Unlike other approaches to painting, the creation of an icon does not begin in the artist's imagination. Rather, the iconographer's first work is to study how the subject at hand has been traditionally depicted in this rich artistic tradition.
