Painted
from an official sitting at The Old Deanery, the portrait of The Rt Revd & Rt Hon Richard Chartres KCVO, Lord
Bishop of London represents the artist's technique of hand-made genuine egg
tempera, a centuries old painting medium practiced by generations of
icon writers.
Created in Elena Vladimir Baranoff's signature style, the artwork
features a color palette of crimson, magenta and scarlet hues, balanced
by smooth earth tones.
Lord Bishop of London was one of the first and most notable supporters of Egg Tempera Movement, a fine art movement founded by Elena Vladimir Baranoff to promote new and original works of art created in genuine egg tempera, inspiring interest among the public and art collectors in this rare and extraordinary centuries old technique.
