EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Icon of the Virgin Eleousa, a remarkable piece dating back to the 14th century. Housed within the Pedoulas Byzantine Museum in Pedoulas, Cyprus, this ancient artifact is a testament to Europe's rich history and cultural heritage. The vertical composition of the image allows us to fully appreciate its ornate details and vibrant colors. The Icon of the Virgin Eleousa depicts both male and female likenesses, with Jesus Christ resting on his mother Mary's lap. This biblical scene evokes a sense of reverence and spirituality as we witness this intimate moment between mother and son. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time, immersing ourselves in an era long gone. The faded fresco-like appearance adds to its allure, reminding us that it has witnessed centuries of human existence. Located inside the museum's walls, this national landmark serves as a significant tourist destination for those seeking to explore Cyprus' historical treasures. Its presence offers visitors an opportunity to delve into Byzantine artistry while gaining insight into religious narratives from centuries past. Philippe Lissac/GODONG skillfully captures this iconic masterpiece through his lens. His photography invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its cultural significance within European history.
