EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite icon titled "The Mother of God Hodegetria and Saints" originating from the Cycladic Islands. Created by an anonymous Greek School artist in the 18th century, this masterpiece measures 44.9x33.3 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The image depicts the Virgin Mary, known as Theotokos or Mother of God, holding her divine child Jesus Christ on her left arm while gesturing towards him with her right hand. Surrounding them are various saints, their serene expressions reflecting devotion and reverence. Painted using tempera on panel technique, this artwork exemplifies the skillful craftsmanship prevalent during that era. The delicate brushstrokes bring life to each figure's facial features and clothing folds, adding depth and dimension to the composition. Acquired by eRichard and Kailas Icons in London, UK, this iconic piece has become a significant part of their collection. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured its essence through this high-quality photo print. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we are reminded of the profound spiritual significance it holds for believers worldwide. It serves as a testament to both religious devotion and artistic excellence within Greek culture during the 18th century – an enduring symbol of faith that continues to inspire awe today.
