EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th-century Russian icon, titled "The Mother of God of the Passion (Strastnaya)" is a true masterpiece that captures the essence of devotion and spirituality. Created by an unknown Russian artist, this painting showcases the deep reverence for Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, within Orthodox Christianity. In this iconic image, we see the Virgin Mary seated on a majestic throne, adorned with intricate details and vibrant colors. She holds in her arms the infant Christ, symbolizing her role as both mother and protector. Surrounding them are angelic figures who serve as messengers from heaven. The composition exudes a sense of serenity and grace as Mary gazes lovingly at her child while he looks out towards us with innocence and purity. The fine art technique used here is tempera on panel, which adds to its timeless beauty. As one delves deeper into this artwork's symbolism, it becomes apparent that it represents not only Mary's divine status but also her profound connection to human suffering. The title "Mother of God of the Passion" refers to her role in witnessing Jesus' crucifixion and sharing in his pain. This rare print from a private collection allows us to appreciate the rich heritage of Russian icon painting—a tradition deeply rooted in religious faith and cultural identity. It serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with spirituality throughout history.
