Icon of the Mother of God of Vladimir
A rare collectible Byzantine icon, inspired by the famous representation "Our Lady of Vladimir" — one of the most revered images of the Virgin Mary in the Eastern Orthodox tradition.
This work impresses with the intimacy of the composition and artistic refinement, being a synthesis between liturgical ornamentation and easel painting.
The Virgin Mary is depicted with her head slightly tilted, in a gesture of deep tenderness, holding the infant Jesus close to her cheek. The scene expresses absolute maternal love, a central symbol of Byzantine iconography.
The faces are hand-painted in oil, using a warm palette and gentle expressions, respecting the traditional canon but with subtle artistic customization.
