Tree of Life Byzantine Style Greek Icon on Old Wood Plaque

Byzantine Art originated in the fifth- to sixth-centuries in the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Europe after the Emperor Constantine relocated the Roman Empire's capital from Rome to Byzantium. Byzantine art continues to be widely appreciated today by devotional members of the Christian church. Artists from Greece adhere to the artistic traditions of the original artists living as early as 1500 years ago. This devotional icon with the image of the Tree of Life with Christ and the Twelve Apostles was originally created by Angelos from Crete in the 15th Century. Our reproduction is inset on old wood, gold leaf and color details, ready to hang, imported from Greece, 9.875"H x 7.875"W.
