George

In the image of George, the unknown artist managed to realize the national ideal of military valor. Slightly touched by a blush young calm face. Huge eyes look openly and straight.

In this look, there is a will and strength. A scarlet cloak, caught by a bow on his right shoulder, barely covers the steel plate armor.

With his right hand, the warrior squeezes the spear. Left to the waist is a battle sword. This icon became known only in 1935, when it became necessary to strengthen the colorful layer on the board of the XIV century with the image of the “Our Lady of the Odigitria”. Then drew attention to the fact that on the back of the board there are also traces of some unknown painting. After clearing, George’s image was opened.
