Treasury of Christian Russia, the Virgin of Vladimir is particularly loved in the West.
Icone, or byzantine, bois massif acajou galbée et cirée à la main à l'ancienne.
The brilliant colours and the fine features make this icon a universal masterpiece. Surrounded by angels, Mary's face with its delicate contours embraces us in the infinity of her gaze and the Child of Light, draped in gold, lovingly snuggles against his mother. In contrast with the golden background, the blue mantle of Mary seems to emerge from a luminous cloud, symbol of light of God.
