One of the earliest painters of the theme was <a href="/wiki/Angelos_Akotantos" title="Angelos Akotantos">Angelos Akotantos</a>. Angelos painted several versions of the work during the 15th century. One of Angelo's paintings of the True Vine entitled <i><a href="/wiki/Christ_the_Vine_(Angelo)" title="Christ the Vine (Angelo)">Christ the Vine</a></i> is located at the Monastery of the Virgin Hodegetria, Heraklion, Crete.

The theme is linked to the <a href="/wiki/Tree_of_Jesse" title="Tree of Jesse">Tree of Jesse</a> which is the original use of the family tree as a schematic representation of a genealogy. The theme originated in a passage from the biblical Book of Isaiah and describes the descent of the Messiah. The tree is the depiction in art of the ancestors of Jesus Christ and Christ is shown in a branching tree. The tree typically rises from Jesse of Bethlehem, Jesse was the father of <a href="/wiki/King_David" class="mw-redirect" title="King David">King David</a>. The Tree of Jesse (Ρίζα του Ιεσσαί) has appeared numerous times in Greek Italian Byzantine art and the True Vine theme is also part of the New Testament.
