The tetramorph, a Christian symbol of the four Evangelists, is depicted in various forms throughout history. From majestic stone carvings to intricate engravings and vibrant frescoes, these representations showcase the significance of this symbol in religious art. In the church of St. John tou Trafu, Fir, Christ in Majesty is portrayed with symbols of the evangelists. This 9th-10th-century stone carving captures the power and divinity associated with Christ's presence. Another remarkable depiction can be found in an ambulatory where a marble sculpture showcases Christ in Majesty. The attention to detail highlights his authority and grace. An engraving featuring Tetramorph emphasizes its importance as a Christian symbol. The intricacy of this artwork demonstrates the devotion and skill put into creating such religious imagery. Moving on to a crypt fresco depicting Christ in Majesty, we see how different mediums were used to convey spiritual messages across time periods. The use of fresco painting adds depth and vibrancy to this portrayal. A Romanesque facade detail from Carrion de los Condes' Church of Santiago reveals yet another interpretation of Tetramorph. Its inclusion signifies the enduring influence Christianity had on architectural design during that era. Mosaics have also been utilized for representing Tetramorph; one mosaic depicts Christ alongside the Virgin Mary and Saint Minias—an example showcasing unity within faith through artistic expression. The martyrdom scene detailing English Archbishop Thomas Becket further exemplifies how Tetramorph was incorporated into historical events—a testament to its profound impact on both artistry and spirituality alike. Wooden iconostasis by Angelos Masketis portrays Christ in Majestry—yet another manifestation demonstrating reverence for this sacred symbol within Orthodox Christianity's rich traditions. Depictions like "The end of the world" mural or Saint Isabel's bible cover reveal that Tetramorph extends beyond singular images—it serves as an emblematic representation tied closely to the Last Judgement and biblical narratives.
