Jacob the Patriarch

Jacob the Patriarch by Matthew D. Garrett


Jacob, the son of Isaac and the father of the heads of the tribes of Israel. This particular icon drwas strongly upon a more western tradition. Though it retains byzantine styling in the robes and facial charactersitics, the background is reminiscent of a more Romantic style.

This 10" x 12" icon was commissioned by Fr. Jacob Myers.
