Russian Icon Painting Theotokos Vladimir Madonna Mother Mary Child Jesus Christ

About the Item

A beautifully engaging, darkly nuanced Theotokos of Vladimir Russian icon (or possibly Our Lady of Kazan Icon/Mother of God of Kazan) tempera painting (and possibly gold leaf) on a wooden panel featuring the Madonna (Mother Mary) and infant child (a baby Jesus Christ) in her arms. Theotokos is the term for an Eastern icon of the Mother with Child (traditionally called a Madonna and Child in the Western tradition). To the Russian Orthodox believer, icons are considered to be a window or portal into the heavens. The faithful pray with or venerate, the icons. Neither the icons nor the figures or saints pictured are worshipped but rather are seen as a “window” into the heavenly realm. This work is wonderfully hand-painted on wood. There is an inscription at the bottom but we are not sure how to translate it. We are listing as from the 19th century but it could be much older. Would be a great addition to any Russian or Christian icon or artifacts collection or eye-catching stand-alone accent piece in about any setting. Dimensions" 15" High, 12" Wide, .75" Deep.
