Bucharest – National Museum of Art (Bishop and King Icon)

Bucharest,  National Museum of Art February 15, 2020 admin

The colours on the icons remain bright and vibrant and if it has been restored, there’s no evidence of that. It was painted on wood by Ioan Cretanul in 1644 and is of the Bishop and King. There’s a sense of dignity and precision to the depiction, all rather lovely.

This site is the ‘fascinating’ (OK, it’s not that fascinating I admit) story of my travels around the world over the last few years. I’m conscious that there is so much more to visit, and I’ll do my best to carry on travelling as much as I can. I wouldn’t take anything too seriously, because I’ve rarely managed to…..

For previous adventures, here’s 2013-2018 and also 2019.
