Prohodul lui Iisus is a 1823 unspecified by Ioan Costea, a Byzantine icon painting work, depicting Composition, held at Alba Iulia Orthodox Archdiocese.
This painting shows a group of seven people gathered around a bed. The person in the bed looks asleep or dead, with a cloth draped over them. The others stand or kneel, some holding hands or looking down. The background has faded colors, with a cross and small scenes in the corners. The central figure in the bed is the focus, surrounded by figures in simple robes. The painting looks old, with some paint chipped or faded, especially near the top. Next, look up composition to see how artists arrange figures and space in paintings.
Ioan Costea painted saints with the same matter-of-fact touch he’d use for a neighbor’s portrait.
