Approaching the Divine : A Primer for Iconography

By Fr. Richard G. Cannuli O.S.A.

APPROACHING THE DIVINE - A PRIMER FOR ICONOGRAPHY is a collection of original icons - transfigurations of beauty and windows to heaven - by the hand of world-renowned iconographer, the Reverend Richard G. Cannuli, O.S.A. Displaying icons of Christ, the Eternal Father, the Virgin Mary, angels and archangels, festal icons and icons of various saints in more than 100 full color illustrations, Cannuli masterfully straddles and unites into one the artistic and spiritual divide between the Western Church and the Eastern Church by writing Catholic icons in the Russian-Byzantine tradition as a bi-ritual priest. Cannuli's icons can be found in several churches and collections. His icons are also in the possession of many individuals around the globe including His Holiness, Pope Francis; the Primate of the Maronite Church, His Eminence, Patriarch Nasrallah Peter Sfeir; and in the famous collection of icons at the Holy Monastery of Saint Catherine, Mount Sinai, Egypt.
