Jesus Christ Pantocrator (Andrey Rublev) Icon print mounted on wood | Made in Russia | Size: 20 x 13,5 x 2 cm

This icon of Christ Pantocrator was discovered in an old shed near Moscow in 1919. It is believed to have been painted by master iconographer Saint Andrei Rublev in the early 15th century.

The heavily-damaged icon, discovered at the beginning of the tragic Soviet period of Russian history, has been viewed by some as a symbol of hope in adversity. The Lord's face remains amid the destruction. Aside from the masterful painting itself, the icon's history makes this an important image to many Christians.
