Master Class in Coptic Iconography
Tutor: Dr Stéphane René
The Neo-Coptic style is the only contemporary school of iconography in the Orthodox Church (Eastern and Oriental) and represents the latest development of this ancient sacred artistic tradition. Its hieratic style and uncluttered designs, as well as much of its powerful symbolism, were inherited from its Pharaonic antecedents.
This unique course will take the student step by step in the creation of an icon according to the canons of the Neo-Coptic School. Suitable for students of all levels.
