EDITORS COMMENTS
The Mother of God by Tikhvin, a stunning 16th century icon from the Moscow School, showcases the profound connection between the Virgin Mary and her son, Jesus Christ. This icon, believed to have been created between 1500 and 1525, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Russia during the Orthodox Christian era. The Madonna and Child are depicted in a warm, brown and golden color palette, with Mary cradling her son protectively while looking down at him with a tender expression. The two figures are dressed in traditional garments, with Jesus wearing a red tunic and a gold mantle, while Mary wears a blue robe and a golden veil. This icon, now housed in the Petit Palais Museum in Paris, was once a cherished possession of the Russian Orthodox Church. The Mother of God by Tikhvin is also known as Our Lady of Refuge or Stella Maris, and was a popular image for Russian families, who would place it in their homes as a symbol of motherhood, protection, and the bond between parent and child. The icon's intricate details and beautiful colors reflect the skill and dedication of the Moscow School artists, who created this masterpiece over five centuries ago. The image of the Mother and Child continues to inspire awe and reverence, reminding us of the enduring power of art and the importance of family and motherhood in our lives.
