Information
Europa orientale
dimensions 53,5 x 43 cm.
This icon on canvas is a depiction of the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child, known as the “Virgin of the Passion” or “Our Lady of Perpetual Help.” The Christ Child looks toward two angels who hold instruments of the Passion, a cross and nails, signs of his future suffering. His dangling sandal emphasizes his vulnerability. The Greek inscriptions identify Mary as the Mother of God and the angels as Michael and Gabriel. The style, with its soft features, earthy tones, and red-green contrast, suggests it likely comes from Eastern Europe, particularly Western Ukraine or Southern Poland, where Byzantine tradition blended with local aesthetics in the 18th–19th centuries. In a beautiful contemporary frame in stucco and gilded wood.
