EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Virgin and Child (ivory)" sculpture, a remarkable piece of Byzantine art dating back to the 11th century. Standing at 23.4x7x1.3 cm, this religious masterpiece can be found in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The craftsmanship of this ivory carving is truly awe-inspiring. The intricate drapery skillfully carved into the delicate material adds depth and texture to the sculpture, enhancing its ethereal beauty. The Virgin Mary stands gracefully, holding her beloved infant son, Jesus Christ, in her arms. The figurine exudes a sense of serenity and devotion as it captures an intimate moment between mother and child. This portrayal follows the traditional Hodegetria style popular during medieval times. As we gaze upon this statuette, we are transported back in time to Constantinople where it originated from centuries ago. Its historical significance cannot be understated as it represents both artistic excellence and religious devotion.
