Canon II - Christ as Teacher Folio 2v

Drawn from the sacred pages of the Book of Kells, this image presents Christ not as distant ruler, but as divine teacher — seated among symbolic creatures and radiant with wisdom. His outstretched arms form a living cross, while the surrounding forms pulse with the flowing geometry and vibrant spirit of Celtic illumination.

In the ancient manuscript tradition, knowledge was not merely written — it was illuminated. Here, Christ becomes the source of sacred learning, harmony, and spiritual guidance, rendered through intricate freehand enamel brushwork upon hand-blown glass.
