Byzantine Byzantium Cyprus Halo Mike Dixon
EDITORS COMMENTS
This 12th-century print captures the poignant moment of the death of the Virgin Mary, an iconic figure in Christianity. Housed within the sacred walls of Asinou Church in Cyprus, this artifact from Byzantium showcases a profound blend of artistry and religious devotion. The image depicts a sorrowful scene, with men and women surrounding the bed where the lifeless body of Mary rests. The vibrant colors bring to life every detail - from their grief-stricken expressions to the delicate halo above her head. In this somber atmosphere, Jesus stands at her side, his presence offering solace and reassurance. The artist skillfully conveys both human emotion and divine reverence through this artwork. The Madonna's serene face reflects acceptance while evoking compassion for those left behind. This portrayal serves as a reminder that even in death, she remains an intercessor between humanity and divinity. As we contemplate this ancient masterpiece by C. M Dixon, we are transported back to a time when faith was deeply intertwined with daily existence. It is not merely an object but rather a testament to centuries-old traditions and beliefs that continue to shape our world today. Let us cherish this remarkable relic as it connects us with our spiritual heritage while reminding us of the enduring power of art to transcend time and touch our souls.
