Two Greek Senior Expert art conservators and restorers undertake the “revival” of an 18th-century Icon after being invited to New York by the Archdiocese of America.

Using scientific methods, beyond the physical conservation and restoration of historical artefacts, the two expert conservators, as Doctors of Art, History and Culture, explore the authenticity and history of the Icon, through scientific conservation and restoration processes that have been developed over the centuries, with the aim of saving our global, historical cultural heritage.

We cordially thank the Archbishop of Orthodox America Archidosia, Archbishop Mr.Elpidoforo, for his invitation, sponsoring, support, and collaboration in the conservation and restoration of the Icon of St. Nikolaos.
