| Description |
English: Agios Ioannis Climacos (John Climacus) or (John of the Ladder). 1663, 27x33cm. Emmanuel Tzane Bunialis "EMMANUEL THE PRIEST JANEC IS THUS AHXG΄" In the image on the right, Ioannis Climacus is represented in a cave, while writing his work "Uranodromos Klimax", from which he got his name. To the left, according to tradition in the iconography of the subject, is the ladder reaching to heaven, with the monks ascending the steps, assisted by angels, or precipitated by the demons and ending up in the mouth of the abyssal dragon. In the sky, Christ in clouds welcomes the first monk who managed to reach the highest step. On the rock, above the cave, there is a monastery, perhaps the Monastery of Sinai, where John was a monk.
Ελληνικά: Ο Άγιος Ιωάννης της Κλίμακος 1663, 27x33εκ. Εμμανουήλ Τζάνε Μπουνιαλής
"ΕΜΜΑΝΟΥΗΛ ΙΕΡΕΥC Ο ΤΖΑΝΕC ΕΠΟΙΕΙ ΑΧΞΓ΄" Στην εικόνα δεξιά παριστάνεται ο Ιωάννης της Κλίμακος μέσα σε σπήλαιο, την ώρα που συγγράφει το έργο του «Ουρανοδρόμος Κλίμαξ», από το οποίο πήρε και το όνομά του. Αριστερά, σύμφωνα με την παράδοση στην εικονογραφία του θέματος, βρίσκεται η κλίμακα που φτάνει μέχρι τον ουρανό, με τους μοναχούς που ανεβαίνουν τα σκαλοπάτια, βοηθούμενοι από αγγέλους, ή που κατακρημνίζονται από τους δαίμονες και καταλήγουν στο στόμα του βύθιου δράκοντα. Στον ουρανό ο Χριστός μέσα σε σύννεφα, υποδέχεται τον πρώτο μοναχό που κατάφερε να φτάσει στο πιο ψηλό σκαλί. Στο βράχο, επάνω από τη σπηλιά, βρίσκεται μοναστήρι, ίσως η Μονή του Σινά, όπου και μόνασε ο Ιωάννης. |
