EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Mother of God (Glykophilousa) image is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Byzantine Empire and its enduring influence on European art. Dating back to the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries, this masterpiece was created in Constantinople but later found its way to Russia and eventually to the National Gallery in Prague, Czech Republic. The painting depicts the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus, her face expressing tender affection and maternal love. The title "Glykophilousa" means "sweet-kissing" and refers to the traditional belief that Mary often kissed the infant Jesus on the cheek. The intricate details of the painting, such as the delicate folds of Mary's veil and the delicate features of the baby Jesus, reveal the skill and artistry of the Constantinople master who created this work. The influence of this painting can be seen in the many copies and adaptations that were produced in Russia during the same period. The image of the Mother of God holding her child became a popular theme in Russian iconography and continues to be a beloved representation of the Virgin Mary in Eastern Orthodox Christianity. This painting is a reminder of the historical connections between Europe and the Byzantine Empire, and the ways in which art and culture have traveled and evolved over time. Its presence in the National Gallery in Prague is a testament to the enduring appeal and significance of this image, which continues to inspire and captivate viewers today.
