EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Byzantine icon, dated to the mid-15th century, is a stunning example of the rich artistic heritage of the Byzantine Empire. Known as the Icon with the Virgin of Tenderness or Kaardiotissa, it is attributed to the renowned Byzantine artist Angelos. The icon comes from the church of Agios Georgios in the Ionian Islands of Greece, now preserved in the Byzantine Museum in Zante. The image depicts the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus in a tender embrace, her face expressing deep affection and love. The child, with his small, serene features, gazes up at his mother, his hand gently touching her cheek. The background is adorned with intricate gold leaf and vibrant colors, creating a sense of otherworldly beauty and spiritual depth. The Byzantine art of the Middle Ages is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, its use of rich colors, and its profound religious symbolism. This icon, in particular, is a testament to the deep reverence and devotion the Byzantines had for the Virgin Mary and the role she played in their faith. The icon's provenance from the church of Agios Georgios adds to its historical significance, as it provides a glimpse into the religious practices and artistic traditions of the Byzantine community in the Ionian Islands during the Middle Ages. The icon's preservation in the Byzantine Museum in Zante ensures that future generations can continue to appreciate and learn from this precious work of art.
