EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Virgin Hodegetria" a masterpiece from the early 18th century. Created by the talented artist Grek, Yegor Ivanovich, this painting is an exquisite example of Russian iconography. The artwork, which belongs to a private collection, depicts the revered figure of Mary holding her divine child. In this sacred image, Mary's serene expression and gentle gaze convey her role as the Mother of God. She cradles Jesus with tenderness and love, symbolizing her position as the birth giver and bearer of God. This portrayal follows the traditional style known as Hodegetria or "She who shows the Way". Painted using tempera on panel, every brushstroke in this fine art piece reflects meticulous craftsmanship and devotion to detail. It exemplifies the renowned Moscow School of icon painting that flourished during this era. "The Virgin Hodegetria" holds great significance in Orthodox Church tradition and serves as a spiritual reminder for believers worldwide. Its presence evokes reverence for Mary's pivotal role in Christianity and invites contemplation on themes such as faith, motherhood, and divine grace. As we admire this remarkable print capturing centuries-old religious artistry, we are reminded of its historical importance within Russian culture while appreciating its enduring beauty that transcends time itself.
