"In this exhibition Guillermo Esparza opens up the exclusive world of traditional Byzantine Iconography and shares his discoveries and techniques. The influences of classical architecture, of his extensive religious and ecumenical studies, keep alive an ancient canon, painted in pigments freshly ground and mixed by hand in medieval tradition. His path to Iconographer was long and arduous: thousands of brush stokes, years of constant study at the Morgan Library and at the General Theological Seminary, a master emerges. As a boy Guillermo was stuck with the wonder at church icons and a rooted feel for the work of grandfather Don Benito’s work in Mexico. After years of working as an environmental sculptor in the Southwest, in 1988 Guillermo decided to learn the art of the Orthodox and moved to New York City. Today, Guillermo Esparza is internationally recognized and respected for his work. Here at studio-online you will view his Iconography and other works accompanied by music from Guillermo’s wife, The Juilliard School award-winning concert pianist and composer Maria Andriasova Esparza."

Мое исследование этой иконы относит её к 1492 г., и автором этой иконы был мастер Андреас Рицос, Гераклион Крита."
