This archangel icon panel presents Archangel Michael and Gabriel together, painted in oil and egg on wood using old doors as the support. The work is credited to D. Kolioussis and forms part of De Ferranti’s Iconography Collection. De Ferranti describes the artist as a rare find, capable of furnishing chapel walls with hand-painted icons and religious themes, producing one-off installation panels, creating complete themed rooms, and working from Greek and Roman Orthodox traditions through Renaissance and Classical styles.

Archangel Icon Panel in Oil and Egg

De Ferranti records the composition at 1.90m x 1.56m, placing it firmly in the scale of a substantial interior art panel. The detail brings two haloed figures into close dialogue across vertical timber boards. Crimson and plum on one figure balance ultramarine and blue on the other, while circular gold halos establish a repeated rhythm. Visible joints, fasteners and wear remain part of the surface, allowing the age and construction of the old-door support to sit alongside the carefully painted iconography.

The Archangel Gabriel Icon Door Panel isolates Gabriel in a narrow vertical format, while the Archangel Panel – Aged Gilded Fresco Icon places greater emphasis on worn gilding. Santissimo Gold & Blue carries related sacred colours into mosaic, and Gesso for Wall Panels & Furniture provides another reference for layered painted and gilded surfaces.

Planning a Large Paired Icon Composition

At this scale, room proportions and viewing distance are central to specification. Test the panel on an elevation at true scale, with furniture, door heads and lighting shown around it. The paired halos create a strong horizontal datum despite the vertical boards, so centring and side margins deserve particular attention. Final mounting, wall strength, edge treatment and environmental conditions should be reviewed for the actual panel and site.
