Sf. Ioan Botezătorul is a 1804 unspecified by Simion Silaghi-Sălăgeanu, a Byzantine icon painting work, depicting Composition, held at Alba Iulia Orthodox Archdiocese.
This painting shows a bearded man with a golden halo, holding a long scroll in one hand and a small book in the other. His face looks serious, and he’s wearing a simple robe with a belt. The background is mostly dark, but his halo glows with gold patterns. The scroll he holds has writing on it, though it’s hard to read. The frame around the painting is decorated with tiny dots and swirls, giving it an old, fancy look. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro next—it’s the technique of using strong light and dark contrasts.
