Pictures of Western Icons?

Fresco of the Life of Saint Catherine of Alexandria by the same artist
(Bottom left is obviously Theotokos and Child, not sure who the bottom right and center are
- bottom right seems to be Mary Magdalene, and maybe Pope Linus due to the red?)

One of the few crucifixes I'd like to see in an Orthodox church.

Last Supper, from 13th Century French Manuscript

 

[LivenotoneviL]

From the Benedictional of Saint Aethelwold of Winchester (this is actually pre-schism by 100 years)

The Ascension

 

[LivenotoneviL]

From the same Benedictional:

Baptism of Christ

Saint Swithun, Patron Saint of Winchester Cathedral

 

[LivenotoneviL]

Despite being pre-schism, I don't know if you could consider them "icons" just from how visually intense they are, despite how pretty they are.

Still found worth posting though.

Gothic Ecce Homo painted in the mid-XVI century in Portugal, oil on wood

"Like a sheep He was led to slaughter..."

It's good to know that if a British Orthodox church were to exist this artstyle would be acceptable.

Beautiful. Showing Christ as God and Man at the same time. Realist and mysterious at the same time.

I love the little detail that crown of thorns poke threw his hood!  It is so satisfying to see for some reason

What makes it acceptable?

It predates the Great Schism by 100 years.

Christ enthroned from the 8th century The Gospel of St. Gall

 

[Orthodox_Slav]

 

[Volnutt]

Having a hard time interpreting this one. Is the kneeling man with the staff supposed to be the one who offered Him gall and vinegar or is he a depiction of the patron who commissioned the sculpture? I'm guessing by the crozier in his hand, that the pointing man is not St. John the Baptist (or is he?).

 

[brlon]

Surely that's six monks.

 

[Jackson02]

Surely that's six monks.

Agreed. It looks like six benedictine monks.

 

[Volnutt]

Ah, ok.

For me it's IHS but I'm not sure.

For me it's IHS but I'm not sure.

Yeah, that was my thought, too. But it's written very strangely written if so.

The Cross throws the lettering off.

Too bad they didn’t opt for the JW torture stake.
