Byzantine Christian Cosmology Icon Framed Canvas Print | Christ Pantocrator Flat Earth Map | Sacred Icon Wall Art

from $44.00
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." — Genesis 1:1

Before the modern model was imposed, the structure of creation was painted in gold and pigment — on icon boards, in monastery scriptoria, in the tradition of Byzantine painters who rendered the invisible with absolute precision.

This artifact continues that lineage.

Christ Pantocrator enthroned on gold ground. Two archangels bearing witness. The firmament arc separating the heavens from the created world below. The flat earth disc — bounded by the surrounding sea, inhabited by church and river and mountain — rendered in the flat cartographic convention of Byzantine cosmological icons. Sheol below as a dark cave mouth, fire visible within. Four angels at the corners, kneeling.

Every element placed with intention. Nothing invented. An archive recovered in gold and pigment.
