EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite icon depicting Michael the Brave as Saint Theodore, painted on glass by the Romanian School in the 19th century. The artwork, held in a private collection, pays homage to Michael Patrascu (1558-1601), a revered figure in Romanian history. Known for his leadership as Prince of Wallachia, Transylvania, and Moldavia during the late 16th century, he holds a significant place as Romania's national hero and unifier. The painting captures Michael's noble presence with intricate details and vibrant colors. Dressed in regal attire, he exudes strength and determination while embodying the qualities of Saint Theodore. This fusion of religious symbolism with historical significance creates a powerful visual narrative. Notably, this masterpiece originates from the renowned monastery at Nicula known for its tradition of glass-painted icons. The delicate brushwork on glass adds an ethereal quality to this already remarkable piece. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when Michael Patrascu played a pivotal role in shaping present-day Romania. His legacy lives on through art like this iconic painting that immortalizes his contributions to unifying territories and inspiring generations to come.
