Virgin (Theotokos) and Child

  • Salon 3, catalog no. 4

  • Late 11th to early 12th century

  • Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow

  • Virgin (Theotokos) and Child

  • Tempera on wood original panel, fast-drying painting. Shows humanity and tenderness, which was new to the Byzantine era.

  • I chose this image because it is iconographic, one of the most venerated orthodox icons
