The Mystical Language of Icons

Abstract

This lavishly illustrated guide to iconography explains through word and pictures the history, methods, and meaning of Christian icons. Solrunn Nes, one of Europebs most admired iconographers, details the techniques of icon painting (showing the steps with photographs) and includes more than 50 of her own brilliantly rendered icons. This book will inform those both familiar and unfamiliar with the rich tradition of religious art, and it also serves as a powerful devotional resource in its own right.
