St Longinus the Centurion

St Longinus the CenturionThis icon of St. Longinus the Centurion is after the style of Simon Ushakov the great 17th century master of the Moscow Armoury school whose realistic, luminous treatment of the human face opened a new chapter in Russian iconographic art. Ushakov's manner brings to the Roman centurion turned martyr a vivid human presence that complements the theological depth of his witness at the Cross. An Orthodox mounted icon from Damascene Gallery.
