EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Virgin Dexiokratousa with the Infant Jesus: A 15th-Century Byzantine Masterpiece from Corfu's Old Fortress Museum" This evocative image showcases the exquisite Byzantine art piece, the Virgin Dexiokratousa, dating back to the 15th century. The sculpture, intricately carved in stone, portrays the Virgin Mary tenderly holding the infant Jesus with her left hand, while supporting Him with her right hand. This poignant scene encapsulates the deep spiritual connection between mother and child, a fundamental theme in Christian art and religion. The Virgin Dexiokratousa, a title meaning "ruler of the right hand," is a reflection of the strong belief in the power and authority of the Virgin Mary in Byzantine Catholicism. This masterpiece, with its intricate details and subtle expressions, is a testament to the artistic prowess and devotional fervor of the medieval period. Originating from the Ionian Islands, specifically Corfu, this sculpture is now proudly displayed at the Old Fortress Museum. The museum, a historical landmark, is a treasure trove of Byzantine and Venetian art, providing invaluable insights into the rich cultural heritage of the region. The Virgin Dexiokratousa, with its timeless beauty and profound symbolism, continues to captivate visitors and scholars alike, offering an intriguing glimpse into the artistic, religious, and historical tapestry of the Byzantine world. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring influence of Byzantine art and the profound impact it has had on the artistic and spiritual traditions of Europe and beyond.
