'''Iconographers''' translate revealed [[scripture ]] and divine truths into visual images, writing the [[icon]] with consecrated brushes, paints, and materials. Ideally, they should be pious individuals trained by holy fathers. [[Monks ]] and [[nuns]], therefore, have traditionally been the primary source of icons.
Iconographers should [[prayer|pray]], [[fasting|fast]], and avoid worldly excitement during their work. Individual interpretation should be kept to a minimum as their task is to pass on tradition by replicating previous icons within prescribed limits. Works Traditionally, works should remain anonymous, but if signed, be inscribed with the words, "Through the hand of [name]." ==See also==*[[Iconography]] [[Category:Iconographer]]
