Portrait Icons
Portrait Icons is a genre of religious devotional image within Byzantine Iconography that belongs to the broader category of iconographic representations and is differentiated by its focus on the frontal, stylized depiction of holy figures—typically Christ, the Virgin Mary, or saints—emphasizing spiritual presence, hierarchical proportion, and symbolic rather than naturalistic representation.
