This powerful and timeless image of Christ Pantocrator is one of the most beloved and enduring portraits in Christian art. Believed to date back to the 6th century, the original icon resides in the sacred walls of Saint Catherine’s Monastery at the foot of Mount Sinai, one of the oldest active monasteries in the world. The image portrays Jesus Christ with striking asymmetry: one side of his face serene and merciful, the other stern and judging, symbolizing the dual nature of divinity and humanity, of compassion and authority.
Rendered in classical Byzantine style, this sacred artwork draws viewers in with its profound spiritual presence and haunting gaze. Christ is shown blessing with his right hand while holding the Gospels in his left, framed by a radiant golden halo. This particular print is based on a high-resolution reproduction of the original icon, carefully cleaned and printed to honor its sacred beauty and age-worn detail.
Among all the pieces in my collection, this is one of the most popular, and not without reason. It’s more than just a religious image. It’s a moving, meditative work of art. Whether you are drawn to it for spiritual reflection, historical interest, or aesthetic appreciation, this piece radiates solemnity, beauty, and deep significance.
Printed on high-quality textured matte paper, this poster brings centuries of devotion and artistry into your home.
