EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Synaxis of the Virgin" a remarkable Russian icon dating back to the end of the 14th century. Housed in the prestigious State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, this painting holds immense cultural and religious significance. "The Synaxis of the Virgin" depicts an enchanting scene from the New Testament, specifically focusing on Mary, also known as the Virgin Mary or Madonna, and her adoration for her divine child, Jesus Christ. The image beautifully captures their holy bond within the context of Christmas. Surrounded by a celestial aura, Mary is depicted enthroned with baby Jesus on her lap while three wise men pay homage to them. These magi are believed to be Melchior, Caspar, and Balthasar - legendary kings who traveled from distant lands to present gifts to baby Jesus. Executed using tempera on panel by artists belonging to Pskov School of Russian icon painting tradition, this masterpiece exudes exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail. Its vibrant colors and intricate brushwork bring life into every element portrayed. "The Synaxis of the Virgin" serves as a visual representation of faith and devotion within Orthodox Christianity. It commemorates an important liturgical feast celebrated annually in honor of this sacred moment during Christmas time. As we gaze upon this iconic artwork captured through fine art photography at its finest, we are transported back in time; witnessing not only a historical treasure but also experiencing profound spiritual connection that transcends centuries.
