EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print showcases "The Virgin Hodegetria" a Byzantine icon created in the 1500s. The image, found in the Collection of Sinebrychoffin Taidemuseo in Helsinki, captures the essence of this revered religious artwork. "The Virgin Hodegetria" is known as the birth giver and god bearer, symbolizing the divine connection between Mary and Jesus Christ. This iconic representation can be traced back to Byzantium and holds great significance within Orthodox Church traditions. Painted with exquisite detail using tempera on panel, this fine art masterpiece depicts the Blessed Virgin Mary cradling her infant son, Jesus Christ. The tender bond between mother and child is beautifully conveyed through their serene expressions. As an important figure in Christianity's New Testament, Mary is venerated as Our Lady and Mother of God. Her role as Theotokos (God-bearer) is central to Orthodox beliefs. This print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind Byzantine icon painting but also its spiritual significance. It serves as a powerful reminder of faith and devotion for those who admire it.
