Icon of Christ Pantocrator - Bust -21st c. - 00LJC021

The Christ Pantocrator icon is a central and ancient image in Christian art, portraying Jesus as the sovereign ruler of the world. This representation typically features Jesus from the waist up, with a solemn, forward-gazing expression, long brown hair, and a beard. He holds the Gospel book in his left hand, while his right hand gestures a blessing. A cruciform halo encircles his head, often inscribed with the letters "IC XC," an abbreviation for "Jesus Christ" in Greek. This standardized depiction has remained largely unchanged for over 1,500 years, making it one of the oldest surviving artistic representations of Jesus, especially prevalent in early cave churches.

About Our Icons (Print and Mounted):

Theophany Works Icons are handcrafted reproductions, made with prayer and a desire for excellence. Choose from our standard  mounted option on Museum Quality Paper or you may choose to upgrade to Museum Quality Matte Canvas. Both offer a rich print with saturated coloration and are finished with our high-grade UV protection sealant offering a subtle tactile texture that gives our icons a truly authentic feel & can be cleaned with a damp cloth.  Additionally, each Maple-shelled panel is prepared with a painted chamfered front edge as well as a round-over on the back edge to give a shadow box effect when hung on the wall. Our Icons come standard with a sliding key-hole slot on the back which allows for balanced hanging. These beautiful American-made reproductions will be a beloved addition to any home or parish at the fraction of the cost of a hand painted icon.
