  Al-Ahram Weekly | Culture | Obituary: Isaac Fanous (1919-2007)
Born in Cairo in 1919, Fanous was a dynamic and ambitious young man whose contemporary school of iconography came about as part of a general renaissance of Coptic culture during the patriarchate of Abba Kyrillos VI in the years following the 1952 Revolution.
Fanous noted, too, that, in ancient Egyptian art, depictions of important people were always accompanied by their names, and that this practice was continued long after Christianity came to Egypt, when the names were sometimes written in Coptic, and later sometimes in Arabic; on occasion, indeed, it was written in both languages.
Alert to a sense of continuity between ancient and modern, a window of opportunity was opened to Fanous when he was granted a two-year study period in the Louvre in the mid-1960s; it proved to be a turning point in his career.

Fanous worked in a special atelier at the Institute of Coptic studies in Abassiya, Cairo, the institute from which he earned a doctoral degree in 1958.
Fanous’ scholarship at the Louvre Museum during the 1960s was a turning point in his artistic life, for there he studied the art of iconography, and developed his own modernist style which intermingled Pharaonic, Byzantine, and Coptic art.
Fanous’ legacy to Coptic art is not confined to his astoundingly beautiful work but, in his overflowing love and dedication, he taught an entire new generation of Coptic iconographers who today carry the torch of Coptic art to places all over the world.
