St. Maximus the Confessor

An exquisite Greek Orthodox Icon of Saint Maximus the Confessor, handmade & handpainted by an expert Greek hagiographer.

St. Maximus (c. 580 – 13 August 662), was a Christian monk, theologian, and scholar. His theology was upheld by the Third Council of Constantinople and he was venerated as a saint soon after his death. It is highly uncommon among the saints that he has two feast days: 13 August and 21 January.

Made using traditional materials (selected aged timber frames, egg tempera, 24K gold leaf, natural powder paint and varnishes) and old techniques.

The icon bears the artist’s signature on the front and the seal of authenticity on the back.

We can have any image or Christian scene hand made on commission. Please take a look at an indicative list of additional icons available, or contact us for more information.
