The artwork entitled “Wisdom Hath Builded Her House,” created by the artist known as “Orthodox Icons” around the year 1750, belongs to the genre of icon painting and is part of the series “Christ the Savior.”
The artwork presents a highly intricate and symbolic portrayal typical of Orthodox Christian iconography. It is composed within a rectangular frame and divided into multiple panels. At the center, Christ the Savior is depicted enthroned, surrounded by angels and saints, conveying an aura of divine wisdom and authority. Each surrounding panel narrates different biblical and hagiographical scenes, employing rich colors and detailed expressions to evoke spiritual contemplation and veneration. The overall composition is characteristic of 18th-century Orthodox icon art, reflecting both theological depth and artistic craftsmanship. The golden background creates an ethereal, timeless space, indicating the sacredness of the depicted events.
