Summary
[edit]DescriptionNMAfA-D20020002.jpg |
English: Certain features of this icon are indicative of a mid-late 17th century date. St. George, for example, is slaying a serpent rather than a dragon, and Mary faces the viewer in a plain blue robe, the folds of which are depicted by a heavy linear overlay in a contrasting color. The Ethiopian saints, whose specific identifications vary, are also drawn in the style of 17th-century icons. The emphasis on decorative patterning is also found in later icons.
