About this work

This drawing copies a painted glass icon by Savu Moga. It shows military saints lined up under arches with tiny buildings below. Savu Moga painted these icons in the 1800s in a village in Transylvania. He filled every inch with detail, from armor folds to rooftops. The cross shapes and swirls around the edges frame the scene like a window. Go see the original icon at the Museum of Ethnography.
