About St.Sergius and Bacchus

The artwork, titled “St. Sergius and Bacchus,” is created by the artist known as Orthodox Icons and dates back to approximately 650 AD. It belongs to the Early Byzantine art movement (c. 330–750) and falls within the genre of iconography. This piece is part of a series dedicated to Saints.

In the artwork, two saints are depicted riding horseback. Ornamented with halos, these religious figures symbolize sanctity and are featured in traditional Byzantine attire. The bright, contrasting colors and the meticulous details of their garments are indicative of the Early Byzantine style, where flatness and abstract figures emphasize the divine nature of the subjects over realism. The background consists of vibrant colors contributing to the ethereal and sacred aura of the piece.
