I also enjoy the Prosopon-school-style icons… I really like the greeny-blues in the guardian angel’s robes. (Green is a human color, because it straddles the reds/yellows of earthiness and the blues/purples of heaven. So the greeny-blue shows how the angels straddle the earthly world and yet are perpetually in the presence of God…)

Yes, indeed! I remember when some of the icons from St. Catherine’s Monastery in Egypt made a rare world tour in 2007, I was blessed to see that exhibit when it stopped at the Getty Museum here in Los Angeles.

While I greatly admire the ancient Eastern Orthodox tradition of iconography, for my own collection (of reproductions) I am also drawn to themes from our western Catholic tradition. This icon from the Carmelite Sisters of Terra Haute, Indiana feature Our Lord and Lady with some of the great Carmelite saints: Prophet Elijah, Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, St. Elizabeth of the Trinity, Edith Stein and Therese of Lisieux.

Brother Robert Lentz, O.F.M., is a contemporary iconographer. Some of his choices for subjects might be considered a little too unconventional or ecumenical for everyone’s taste, but I do like this icon he made of St. Charles de Foucauld

In all the Lazarus icons, someone is always holding their nose, convinced, as Scripture tells us, that, “By now, there will be a stench.”
