Description from the seller
Hand-painted Greek icon “Zoodochos Pigi” (Life-giving Spring), signed and dated 1999
Exquisitely executed hand-painted icon on a wood panel with a gold leaf ground, depicting the Orthodox representation of the “Zoodochos Pigi” (Life-giving Spring) — one of the most significant Marian motifs of Byzantine iconography.
In the center stands the Mother of God with the Christ Child above a overflowing well, symbolizing divine healing and life. Two angels flank the scene, while in the lower register the sick and needy receive restoration through the healing water. The portrayal follows traditional Byzantine icon painting with bold colors, fine outlines, and rich gilding.
The icon is signed in the lower right by the icon painter A. Keramidas (Χείρ Α. Κεραμίδα) and dated 1999.
This icon fuses traditional Byzantine iconography with a contemporary execution and is suitable for both collectors of Orthodox art and as a decorative and spiritual art object.
