Vasile Munteanu din Săliște is a Byzantine icon painting artist. 10 works are cataloged here, principally at Alba Iulia Orthodox Archdiocese.

This painter from Săliște in the late 1700s made religious scenes on wood and paper. Look at the 1799 “Buna Vestire,” a delicate hand with a drawn dove above Mary’s head, or “Intrarea în biserică a Maicii Domnului,” where the Virgin steps into a candlelit church interior. The drawings “Schimbarea la față” and “Soborul Sfinților Apostoli” show the same careful linework and gold-leaf details. Next, tap into the 1799 oil on wood panel “Buna Vestire” to see how gold grounds the scene.
