Step into the world of Greek and Russian icon painting at the San Diego Museum of Art, where these sacred images trade realistic depth for flat, symbolic forms that exist beyond earthly time and space. Gold leaf stands in for both divine light and landscape, while the pieces’ portable designs reflect the demands of everyday religious practice. It’s a fascinating look at how a tradition turns devotion into art you can carry.
