To begin with, we are making available the famous painting by Mikhail Nesterov, “The Vision of the Youth Bartholomew”, which is a striking painting full of spiritual depth.  This painting depicts the youth Bartholomew, the future St Sergius of Radonezh, during a miraculous encounter he had with an old monk.  Prior to this encounter, Bartholomew had great difficulty learning to read.  Following this miraculous event, however, learning came very easy to him.  St Sergius is one of the principle saints in Russian Orthodoxy who was a holy ascetic and founder of the Holy Trinity Lavra, one of the great spiritual centers today in Russia.

Below, you may see the comparison photo which shows the original image given to our partner artist and the resulting painting.  I have no doubt that you will be as impressed with their skill as we are!

We are working hard to add more paintings to this category in the coming weeks, beginning with several other paintings fashioned after originals by Nesterov, one of our favorite paintings.  Due to the artistry involved with these beautiful originals, the lead time on hand painted artwork is 2 to 4 months, so bear this in mind when ordering.

Several characteristics of our paintings are as follow:

• 100% hand painted in oil on artist grade canvas
• Currently available in 2 sizes (largest dimension 36″ or 48″) – other sizes available upon request
• Finished with an abrasion resistant varnish

As we work to add additional pieces to this category, do not hesitate to contact us if there is a particular painting you would like to have produced.

As before, our Giclee Art Prints are:

• Produced on archival canvas
• Printed using archival, pigment-based inks
• Finished with UV inhibiter varnish to provide color trueness and abrasion resistance

The new pieces can be viewed on the storefront here.

Here is a sampling of the new prints available:

• Our signature artist grade canvas, identical to the one we use for our icons
• Archival, pigment based inks
• Our unique, color enhancing, UV inhibiting lacquer
• A 2.5″ canvas border around all images to allow for stretching

Our collection is available for viewing by clicking here.

Several of our initial launch images are viewable in the gallery below.

“Our hope at Damascene Gallery is really very simple: we are successful to the extent that our work succeeds in drawing all of us to a deeper spiritual life, to a deeper awareness of our own frailty and need for repentance and to the union of our souls with Christ, the image of the Invisible God.”

To God be the Glory!

Damascene Gallery is pleased to offer full service Photoshop work with our printed icons.  In doing so we are willing to work with churches to retrofit any existing iconostasis with new icons.  We would also like to mention that both background colors and orthography are changeable in accordance with the customer’s preference.

The above photos are one example of our work.  Please note that the first photo is before the retrofit while the remaining are after.  In this particular iconostasis all halos have been gilt.
