A powerful devotional image in the Byzantine tradition, depicting Christ Pantocrator - the “Ruler of All” - with a calm, direct gaze, a radiant halo, and the Gospel held close.

This icon panel is built around presence. Christ is shown frontally, blessing with the right hand while holding an ornate Gospel book in the left - a composition designed to feel both intimate and absolute. The gilded halo and warm gold tonality lift the figure from the background, catching light softly and giving the panel its unmistakable icon glow.

Painted using historic methods and mineral and earth pigments, the surface can be supplied as clean and crisp, or gently aged to evoke the patina of time: softened edges, mellowed gold, and subtle wear that makes the piece feel like a rediscovered artifact rather than a modern print.

The panel is presented within a dark timber frame to give it architectural weight and to allow it to sit confidently as a focal point - above a console, within a niche, or as part of a sequence of icons along a corridor or stair. Available in bespoke sizes, with optional antiquing levels and border treatments to suit classical or contemporary interiors.
