This icon was painted in or about the sixth century. it is an encaustic painting, i.e., the painter used wax as his medium. The icon is kept in the Monastery of Saint Catherine on Mount Sinai, which was founded by the Roman Emperor Justinian the Great..
This is a dogmatic icon. It shows Christ as both God and man. The right hand side of His face is eternally serene, powerful, all-merciful, unchanging; the left shows the Man of Sorrows, a human being sharing and deeply afflicted by human suffering. And yet the face is a single person, Jesus Christ.
