Russian Icon of Christ Enthroned
There are many types of
Jesus Christ icons, but one of the most interesting is Christ Enthroned. Christ
is depicted full-length, seating on the throne, often with a book in His hand,
featuring the following inscription, “I am the Light of the World, he that
followeth Me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life.” The
example in the photo is a Russian icon of Christ Enthroned, painted presumably
in the 16th century in Tver by the unknown iconographer.
