Sf. Trei Ierarhi; (Icoană de catapeteasmă) is a 1778 by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows three bearded men in golden robes, standing side by side. Each holds a book or a cross-shaped object, and their faces glow with a soft light. The background is dark and worn, with faded gold and writing in a strange script at the top and bottom. The center man stands slightly ahead, like he’s leading the group. His robes are richer, with more gold and jewels than the others. The writing at the top might be names, but it’s hard to read. If you like this style, look up Romanticism next—it’s the art movement behind many dramatic, emotional works like this.
