Romanian hand-painted Byzantine icon of Our Lady of Vladimir, 12x10 in.
Byzantine icon of Our Lady of Vladimir with the Jesus Child, hand-painted in tempera by Romanian iconographers following the Byzantine tradition, with gold leaf application.
The Virgin is shown with her head inclined, covered by a dark red mantle with light edging over a blue inner garment. The Child wears a reddish-orange tunic and nestles against His mother, with one arm around her neck, on a gold background bearing inscriptions in Greek letters.
The composition emphasises the colour contrast between the Virgin's mantle and the Child's garment, the intimate contact of their faces and the visible positioning of the hands that support the body, underlining the bond between the figures.
Each icon is supplied with a certificate of authenticity.
Made on a wooden panel with an antique-effect finish of 1-inch thick.
Actual measurements: 12.2x9.1x1 in.
