EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the timeless masterpiece, "The Protection of the Mother of God (Pokrov)" created by a talented Russian icon artist in the second half of the 15th century. Housed within the esteemed State Museum of Architecture, History and Art in Vladimir, this painting holds immense significance within Christian art. At its heart lies a depiction of Mary, adorned in vibrant hues and radiating divine grace as she cradles her beloved son, Jesus Christ. This iconic representation symbolizes motherhood and serves as a powerful testament to Mary's role as both Virgin and Mother. The fine details captured through tempera on panel technique bring forth an ethereal quality that mesmerizes all who gaze upon it. Known for her unwavering helpfulness and intercession, Mary is revered as the patroness and wonder worker within Orthodox Christianity. The painting also portrays her wearing the Veil of Our Lady or Protecting Veil of Theotokos—a sacred garment believed to shield believers from harm. Rooted deeply in Russian culture, this artwork reflects not only religious devotion but also serves as a reminder of Russia's rich artistic heritage. It represents one school known as Rostov-Suzdal School—an influential movement in Russian icon painting during that era. As we contemplate this profound piece, let us marvel at its spiritual essence while appreciating its historical significance within both art history and religious devotion.
