EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Portrait Icon of the Virgin and Child, created by the Greek School around the year 1500, is a stunning representation of the revered mother-child duo in Christian art. The image captures the essence of tenderness and love between Mary, the Virgin Mother, and her infant son, Jesus Christ. Mary is depicted wearing a brown robe with gold accents, symbolizing her humility and devotion. Her veil is adorned with intricate patterns, reflecting the artistic skill and craftsmanship of the Greek School. The Christ Child, dressed in white clothing, sits on Mary's lap, holding a small cross in his right hand, signifying his role as the Savior of the world. The use of tempera on wood material adds to the richness and depth of the painting, making it a precious heritage piece. This icon, a beloved symbol of motherhood and faith, has been passed down through generations and continues to inspire awe and reverence in viewers. Housed in the Petit Palais Museum in Paris, it is a testament to the enduring influence of Greek and Orthodox Christian art on European culture.
