Saint Tryphon, Holy Martyr of Apamea (Nicaea). Wooden orthodox icon
This Orthodox icon of Saint Tryphon is based on an original work painted around 1900 by the renowned Russian iconographer Mikhail Dikarev in the Russian Empire. Today, the original icon is preserved in a private collection, and it stands as a refined example of late Russian iconographic tradition, combining spiritual depth with artistic mastery.
