EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned artwork "Holy Mandylion (The Vernicle)" created by a Russian icon artist in 1447. Housed within the prestigious State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, this painting holds immense significance within Christianity. The image depicts Jesus Christ, beautifully rendered with delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors using tempera on panel. Revered as an iconic representation of Christ's face, the Holy Mandylion is steeped in religious history. It is believed to be an authentic likeness of Jesus' countenance and has been venerated for centuries by Orthodox Christians. This particular rendition captures the essence of devotion and faith that permeates Russian church traditions. The origins of this sacred image can be traced back to Edessa, where it was said to have miraculously imprinted itself onto a cloth known as the Image of Edessa or Vera Icon. According to legend, King Abgarus of Edessa requested Jesus send him his portrait after hearing about his miraculous healings. In response, Jesus pressed a cloth against his face before sending it back to Abgarus. As you gaze upon this exquisite piece of artistry, allow yourself to be transported through time and space into the realm of spirituality and divine grace that emanates from every brushstroke. Experience firsthand the profound impact that Russian icon painting has had on religious art throughout history.
