ST-SM-001
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.
Saint Stylianos was the child of a rich family who, from his earliest years, taught him self-control and to consider money a means for the relief and welfare of the poor and sick. Being brought up this way, when his parents died, he gave away all of his inheritance and went to become an ascetic in the desert. There, he met many other ascetics and lived with them in brotherly love, Christian condescension and mercy. The reputation of his ascetical labours reached all the way to the cities, and many ran to find him and ask him for spiritual guidance. Despite his life as a hermit, he had particular care and love for children, whom the Lord, too, loved. Many times, parents would bring their children to him, and the Saint would feel great joy.
