Image handmade, painted on canvas on wood with the method of Byzantine hagiography, with a background of gold. Jesus Christ Almighty One of the most impressive, ascetic depictions of the image of Christ is that which was created in the first half of the 6th century and depicts Christ as Pantokrator, in the Monastery of Catherine, Sinai. The image as to its technique is referred to as a preservative, after mixing the pigment with wax or wax and resin was used and applying it with calcined iron or other medium. In the image the face of Christ presents an imperceptible asymmetry of the eyes, which express His untimely existence by referring to the technique of the Fayum, while the shades of flesh and the light it emits highlight the nonhuman nature of Christ. The copy of the image of Christ Almighty in the Monastery of Sinai brings together the face of Christ by emphasising the glow of the skin and the expression of the eyes.
