Each volume is contained in a luxurious and aesthetically pleasing case.
Within the over one thousand pages of the work, the theory and practice of Byzantine Iconography are presented, of which the venerable Fotis Kontoglou was a profound mystic.
The "Technological" part of Volume I presents the working methods of the iconographer. The "Iconographic" part that follows describes the iconographic types of our Church. Volume II is a splendid album with magnificent images as well as samples of the author's secular art.
Delving into the "Expression," those engaged in the visual arts learn a lot. But even every devout person benefits, shaping a more solid and brighter Orthodox mindset.
In the new edition, Volume II, renewed and enriched with selected works by the great writer and painter, has been edited by one of the author's top students, Petros Vampoulis, who has preserved the spirit of Kontoglou intact with special care.
