Greek Icons

the exhibition “Approaching Heaven” featuring Icons of the Velimezis Collection from the Alexander S. Onassis Public Benefit Foundation and the Benaki Museum.
THE ENTIRE COLLECTION

i told the girls we should go to see it and they gave me the usual "dema3'ek"
so losers
it was worth watching really

some scenes are demonstrated in multiple icons (cross, christ's birth, ... etc)
those greek icons presents the Byzantine art in the middle ages, it has some similarity with the coptic art
(golden backgrounds, 2D perspectives, red for saints and kings, yellow hollow around the head, big eyes and forehead, ... )
i recommend that u all read the book "كيف تقرأ الأيقونة", it's very usefull
honestly, I was proud to look at these icons knowing that i share same believes and heritage with those artists
