Saint George (front side) 1125

The "Saint George" icon, created in 1125 by Orthodox Icons, depicts the patron saint of Moscow. The icon, housed in the Dormition (Assumption) Cathedral of Moscow Kremlin, showcases a stylized image of Saint George in traditional Byzantine style. The image is characterized by a flattened perspective, elongated proportions, and a solemn expression, reflecting the icon's devotional purpose. The use of gold leaf and bold colors creates a sense of reverence and emphasizes the icon's religious significance. While the icon's surface displays visible wear and tear, these marks only add to its historical significance.
