EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Dormition of Saint Sabbas the Sanctified" a remarkable Byzantine icon painted at the end of the 16th century. The artwork, found in the prestigious collection of the Benaki Museum in Athens, beautifully captures an important moment in Christian faith and Greek Orthodox tradition. In this painting, we witness Saint Sabbas' ascension to heaven as he peacefully rests on his deathbed. Surrounded by loyal saints and angels, his serene face reflects unwavering devotion and spiritual enlightenment. The artist's meticulous use of tempera on panel brings out vibrant colors that illuminate every detail with finesse. "The Dormition of Saint Sabbas" holds deep significance within Christianity as it depicts both his dormition (falling asleep) and assumption into heaven. This iconic scene from biblical lore serves as a powerful reminder of divine grace and eternal life promised to believers. Byzantine iconography has long been revered for its ability to convey religious narratives through symbolic imagery. This particular masterpiece exemplifies the rich artistic heritage associated with this style, capturing not only Saint Sabbas' physical departure but also conveying profound spiritual truths.
