Description from the seller
This lot is part of my special auction of religious objects. Also take a look at the others: who knows, you might find the piece missing from your collection or the perfect one to start a collection!
On this item:
Icon of the Mother of God of Tenderness (Glykophilousa) depicting the Virgin and Child, united in a tender embrace. Of remarkable painterly quality, it stands out for the intensity of the gazes, the fineness of the details and the luminosity of the gold background. Greece, late 20th century.
Entirely hand-painted, according to the Byzantine iconographic tradition, with egg tempera and gilding on canvas applied to a wooden panel. On the back there is the original certificate, attesting to the artisanal workmanship and materials used.
General conditions excellent, without obvious defects. Size 28x21 cm.
Appropriate packaging and fast shipping.
