EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Feast of Orthodoxy" a remarkable 14th-century Byzantine icon. Created by an unknown artist, this masterpiece can be found in the prestigious collection of the British Museum. The painting depicts a momentous event in Orthodox Christian history known as the Feast of Orthodoxy or Sunday of Orthodoxy. The central figure is the Virgin Mary, seated on a majestic throne, holding the infant Christ in her arms. She is portrayed as the Mother of God and the Birth Giver of God, adorned with richly colored garments and a serene expression. Surrounded by saints and clergy members, Mary symbolizes purity and divine grace within Byzantine art tradition. This iconic representation reflects both religious devotion and artistic excellence prevalent during the Byzantine Empire. "The Feast of Orthodoxy" holds great significance for Orthodox Christians worldwide as it commemorates their victory over iconoclasm—the destruction or prohibition of religious images—in 843 AD during the Council of Constantinople. This triumph marked a turning point for Orthodox Christianity's acceptance and veneration of icons. Through its exquisite details rendered using tempera on panel technique, this artwork exemplifies fine art at its finest. Its profound spiritual symbolism continues to inspire viewers centuries later, making it an invaluable treasure housed within the British Museum's collection.
