Artist
Andrei din Cluj
Andrei din Cluj is a Byzantine icon painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at "Saint Ilie Tesviteanul" Monastery.
Andrei din Cluj liked to sneak saints into everyday scenes—his Madonna wears a headscarf like the neighbor next door, the baby Jesus squirming like any toddler. Look at the wrinkles in her sleeve; he painted them one by one, as if counting the hours of a long day. To see his trick, hunt down Maica Domnului cu Pruncul in the small church on Strada Regele Ferdinand: the holy figures sit inside a room that feels like your own hallway.
