EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th-16th century icon of the Mother of God (Glykophilousa) hails from the rich artistic tradition of the Cretan School, a significant contributor to Byzantine art during the late Byzantine period. The icon is currently housed in the National Gallery in Prague, Czech Republic, and is a testament to the enduring influence of Eastern Orthodox Christian art in Europe. The image portrays the Virgin Mary, her face serene and expressive, holding the infant Jesus in her arms. The tender moment of the Mother's affectionate embrace of her son is captured in the Greek term "Glykophilousa," meaning "sweet-kissing." The scene is further enhanced by the presence of two angels, their golden wings spread protectively over the holy family. The icon's intricate gold leaf background and delicate, yet expressive, brushwork are characteristic of the Cretan School's distinctive style. The school was renowned for its mastery of emotion and realism, which is evident in the lifelike depiction of the human form and the subtle interplay of light and shadow. This icon, with its rich history and artistic merit, offers a glimpse into the religious and cultural traditions of the Eastern Orthodox Church during the late Byzantine period. It serves as a reminder of the profound impact of Byzantine art on European artistic development and the enduring significance of religious art in shaping our collective cultural heritage.
