About the Item

Russia, 19th century Icon Madonna and Child and patron Tempera on panel, 52 x 40 cm The icon, from the Greek eikon, image, presents the narration of some episodes from the life of the Virgin and Jesus, constituting, a treatise of theology in color. The uniqueness of the icons is already evident from the preparation of the support on which they are painted. The wooden board itself is a symbol of the cross, while the cloth is a symbol of the mandylion, or the veil of Veronica, or the Shroud; the plaster that is spread over the cloth, the levkas is a symbol of the stone. Icons were painted on wooden boards, usually linden, larch or fir. An excavation, called a "casket" or "ark," was generally made on the inner side of the tablet so as to leave a raised frame on the edges. The icon is not a personal interpretation but a ritual with precise canons to be respected; unlike paintings, whose author's name is often known, the icon must remain anonymous. Theology considered icons to be works of God himself, made through the hands of the iconographer. In the icon under consideration we find a recurring depiction of the Madonna and Child, in this case enriched by the figure of the patron/donor who is indicated by the hand of Christ.
