Icon of the White Angel – Byzantine Style, Oil and Pigments on Wood

The White Angel: Herald of the Resurrection and Symbol of Mileševa

The icon of the White Angel represents one of the most sublime works of Serbian and global spiritual heritage. The original fresco from the Mileševa Monastery, depicting the Archangel Gabriel at Christ's tomb, has become a universal symbol of hope, peace, and the victory of life over death.

Exceptional Artistic Craftsmanship:

• Blend of Oil and Natural Pigments: This icon is not an ordinary reproduction. By using natural pigments, an authentic "fresco-like" texture is achieved, while oil paints add depth and longevity. The result is a noble and dignified appearance that faithfully conveys the White Angel's serene gaze.

• Traditional Wooden Panel: The work is executed on a solid, high-quality dried wood (linden or ash). The wood is prepared according to old craft rules, preventing warping and ensuring durability for generations.

• Byzantine Aesthetics: Although the White Angel is specific for its early Renaissance beauty, our execution retains the strict elements of Byzantine iconography, emphasizing the spiritual peace and holiness of the figure.

• Symbolism and Gifting: The White Angel is considered a guardian of the home and a bearer of good news. It is ideal as a gift for baptism, marriage, moving into a new home, or as a central icon in your prayer corner.

Interesting Fact: The White Angel was chosen as a symbol of human civilization in the first satellite transmission of a video signal between Europe and America in 1962, as a message of peace and love.
