Apostolic preaching 1660

"Apostolic Preaching", an Orthodox icon dating from 1660, depicts a central figure of Christ, seated and radiating light, with scenes from his life arranged radially around him. These scenes, including the Last Supper, the Crucifixion, and Christ's ascension, illustrate the central tenets of Christian faith. The icon, characteristic of Byzantine art, employs a flat, two-dimensional style with symbolic colors and an emphasis on gold. It serves as a powerful visual aid for devotional practice and meditation within Orthodox Christian communities.
