  • The Portraits of Fayum are painting for egyptian mummies of the roman era. They are painted under the greek roman painting tradition just like the byzantine icons. Maybe this is why these portraits - so alluring, mezmerizing, and vivid - always inspire me and teach me great painting. This portrait of a young mans yields a strong impression on me...

    Hello. Yes, please. More Fayum. Most don’t know about them. Would like to see one distressed. I enjoy and admire your talent. Thank you.

    The Fayoum mummy portrait style is actually the parent of the Coptic style of iconography. Soft and youthful facial features, big round eyes, a sense of innocence and purity especially seen in the facial expression, all of which are characteristics of Coptic iconography, and even the Coptic priests will admit this. They're very proud of their iconographic heritage.

    Доски фаюмских портретов разрушаются. Нужно их перенести га более стойкий носитель- сохранить. Они уникальны❤

    Mostly of Fayum’s portraits were made with Encaustic on limewood. Nice work style.

    Καλημέρα Αντώνιε, με ενδιαφέρουν πολύ τα φαγιούμ και γενικά η υστεροβυζαντινή αναπαράσταση, δηλαδή κάτι ανάμεσα σε αυτό και σε πρώιμη αναγέννηση. Μου αρέσουν πολύ αυτά που επεξηγείς στα βίντεό σου και η τεχνική με την οποία δουλεύεις, λίγο περισσότερο στα πιο ρεαλιστικά, όπως αυτό, ή η σπουδή στον Βελάσκεθ. Ήθελα να σε ρωτήσω αν μπορείς να μου προτείνεις και άλλα παρόμοια κανάλια, άλλους καλλιτέχνες, που να ζωγραφίζουν με ένα παρόμοιο ύφος, να διδάσκουν δηλαδή τα πράγματα που μας διδάσκεις εσύ στα βίντεό σου :)
    Ευχαριστώ εκ των προτέρων!

    It would take another thousand years before portrait painting achieved this level of expertise. We're talking about a cultural regression after Germanic tribes took over Europe.
