Vladimir Mother of God icon, golden background

Vladimir Mother of God icon, golden background.
This hand-painted icon of the Virgin shows us the constant tension of the eastern church to affirm the task the Lord gave to the Mother of God in the Salvation of of mankind.
Mary is a deified creature, her face is the reflection or human and divine alike, but her eyes foresee the future pains; the Holy Child, already a small adult, is comforting her by looking her in her eyes".
