{"product_id":"artista-sconosciuto-san-nicola","title":"Unknown Artist - Saint Nicholas","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e Saint Nicholas was the bishop of Myra, also known as Saint Nicholas of Bari. He is one of the most important figures in Christianity, venerated especially in Eastern religion. Indeed, he is depicted in numerous Byzantine art works. Saint Nicholas is the protagonist of numerous legends that spread especially during the Middle Ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe panel is an excellent example of Byzantine art, reflecting all its characteristics. Byzantine art retains all its strongly archaic stylistic features, aimed at exalting the supernatural and divine nature of what is depicted. For this reason, the panel exhibits a marked anti-naturalism, still reminiscent of the Middle Ages. The conception of space is not rational, there are no regular proportions, and the subjects appear very elongated. The facial features are generalized, and the gazes are lost in contemplation of the divine. These are all elements that contribute to the work's transcendent aura. Formally, a marked linearism prevails over a substantially two-dimensional and abstract surface represented by the golden background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e The work is dated 2005 and presents some modernization features compared to the most ancient phase of Byzantine art but always remaining within the framework of its most exquisite tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ionascu Ion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56213479915906,"sku":"IION002","price":940.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/IMG_4500.jpg?v=1768409634","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/artista-sconosciuto-san-nicola","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
