16th/17th Century Orthodox Religious Icon on Board of the Virgin Mary and Jesus
About the Item
An impressive and large scale painting on board of the Mother Mary holding the infant Jesus, each displayed wearing a crown with a golden sacred heart, probably Hungarian, the inscription underneath reads ‘Zdravas Kralovno’ in Slovak, which translates to the Latin Salve Regina or Hail, Queen, these are a reference to the Latin Hymn of the same name, which is traditionally thought to have originated in 11th century Germany, and specifically to the monk Hermann of Reichenau.
Unlike the Icons of Catholicism, these Eastern Orthodox Icons are considered sacred images and would be used in religious devotion. These Icons were painted on wooden panels, using gesso and egg tempera, the colours were much more muted than their Roman Catholic counterparts and tended to use deep reds, greens and gold palettes.
Eastern Orthodox icons are neither marked by naturalism nor signed by the Iconographer, the saints and figures depicted whilst always beautiful appear flat and devoid of emotion.
These Icons are considered by many as a window into Heaven and enable those who see them to focus on the divine.
This Icon of Gesso and egg tempera is surrounded by a Kovcheg, or Ark, to the back the wood has two Shponka or slats to prevent warping. A small but visible split to the board in the centre.

Cuzco School Oil Painting on Canvas of the Holy Family
Located in Hastings, GB
An exceptional early Cuzco School painting, naive depiction of the Holy Family, presented in a contemporary wooden frame.
The Cuzco or Cusco school was a Roman Catholic artistic tradition that began in the 1500's in Peru, following the Spanish conquest and subsequent attempts by the Spanish invaders and missionaries to implement the Catholic faith and associated customs upon the Peruvian people. The school was established in the ancient city of Cusco which had previously been the capital of the Incan empire.
Bernardo Bitti arrived in Peru in 1583, and with his arrival the acceleration of Cuzqueno Art flourished. During his two stays in Cusco, Bitti was commissioned to make the main altarpiece of the church of his Order, replaced by another after the earthquake, and painted some masterpieces, such as The Coronation of the Virgin, currently in the museum of the church of La Merced, and the Virgen del pajarito, in the cathedral.
Cuzco School paintings are marked by their baroque influenced imagery and the subjects of the paintings shown with light focused upon them.
