The Last Supper. The Icon For An Iconostasis.

The Last Supper handwritten icon. October 2017.

The icon “The Last Supper” was written for a custom order for an Orthodox Temple in Ukraine. This icon was made for an iconostasis.

This fact explains the size of the orthodox icon – 80×140 centimeters or 31×55 inches.

The Last Supper icon was written in a Byzantine technique. Background and halos were covered with a leaf gold (made in Italy).

We would like to show some pictures of the icon creation process. From the gilding till the installation on the iconostasis.
