Icon of Saint John the Baptist - Prophet, Forerunner and Witness of Christ
This icon depicts Saint John the Baptist, the last of the prophets and the forerunner of the Messiah. Shown in Byzantine style, he holds a cross-staff and raises his hand in blessing, symbolizing his mission of preparing the way for Christ. His simple garments reflect his life of penance and prayer in the desert.
Crafted on linden wood, double primed, gilded with schlagmetal and hand-varnished, the icon unites spiritual symbolism with durable artistic quality.
