Savu Moga / Matei Țimforea

This piece is an Orthodox icon painted in the layered, symmetrical style of Savu Moga and Matei Țimforea. It shows the Coronation of the Virgin, where Christ and God the Father place a crown on Mary’s head while the Holy Spirit descends as a dove, all arranged in a cross-shaped composition. The scene glows in bright vermilion, sky-blue, and golden tones, set against a starry heaven and soft pink horizon.

Look closely at the delicate lace-like border that frames the work. Want to see another icon from the same tradition? Tap “ICXC MP Iisus Hristos Maica Domnului.”
