This vintage Greek Orthodox icon depicts Saint Nicholas, the beloved bishop of Myra, shown in traditional vestments and blessing gesture, holding a Gospel book. Surrounding the central figure are narrative scenes from the saint’s life and miracles, a popular iconographic format rooted in 15th–16th century Russian and Greek icon painting.
Made in Thessaloniki, Greece, and mounted on board, this mid-century piece features a printed icon transfer with hand-finished distressing to emulate centuries-old devotional panels. The back is labeled: “St. Arsny, Russian icon second half of 15th cent., Kremlin, Uspensky Sobor.”
A visually rich and spiritually meaningful item for Orthodox collectors, clergy, or lovers of ecclesiastical art.
