Mother of God with the Child – Serigraph on Naturally Aged Wood – Mount Athos

Description

Icon of the Virgin Mary Holding the Child on Naturally Aged Wood

A magnificent serigraph depicting the Virgin Mary Holding the Child on naturally aged wood from the Holy Mount of Athos.

The Virgin Mary is portrayed holding the infant Jesus in her arms, while the wood of the icon shows cracks and a textured surface, features that enhance the Byzantine style of the image. This is a piece of unique aesthetic value, featuring the Virgin Mary Holding the Child.

The name “Holding the Child” refers to the affection and care that the Theotokos shows to the infant Jesus, whom she holds in her arms. It is one of many titles given to the Virgin Mary, which either come from the way she is depicted in icons, like this one, or from regions where churches are dedicated to her name, or even from hymns and traditions.

As the image is handmade and the wood treatment is done by hand, there may be slight variations in the wood, but not in the depiction.

The icon is available upon request.

Origin: Mount Athos

Dimensions: 19.5 x 22.5 x 2 cm
