Icon with water-gilding on natural linden wood. The wood has been prepared in heat and gilded with gold leaf 24K, in accordance with traditional Byzantine techniques. The icon has been painted with egg-tempera paints for best performance and endurance of colors used. The colors were chosen based on studies and analyses of older icons by renowned iconographers, after ARTIS had first conducted conservation treatments on them.
The Apostle Luke offered to humanity two great treasures: the Holy Gospel bearing his name and the Acts of the Apostles. He was also the first iconographer. Some of his holy icons have survived even to the present day, such as the icon of the Theotokos at the Monastery of Mega Spilaio (the Great Cave) in the Peloponnese, Theotokos of the Monastery of Sumela (Panagia Soumela) in Kastania in Veroia and the Theotokos of Mount Kykkos in Cyprus. He preached the Gospel throughout Greece. His life finally came to an end in Thebes, where his tomb is found. Saint Luke is the protector of the Greek city of Lamia and his memory is honoured on the 18th of October.
