Ioan Morar din Laz
Ioan Morar din Laz is a Byzantine icon painting artist. 4 works are cataloged here, principally at Alba Iulia Orthodox Archdiocese.
A Transylvanian church artist of the mid-1800s, Ioan Morar din Laz filled altarpieces with bold colors and flowing gold in Arhanghelul Mihail (1845) and Iisus Hristos Pantocrator (1860). His drawings, like Maica Domnului cu Pruncul, floarea neveștejită (1860), show delicate linework on aged paper. These works blend local tradition with the softer tones creeping in from Europe at the time. See how he frames holiness with everyday light, then tap into his 1860 drawing of Saint Nicholas.
