EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite icon depicting the Head of Christ, created around 1550 by the Russian School in the 16th century. Painted with tempera and adorned with delicate gold leaf on panel, this masterpiece emanates a sense of divine beauty and spiritual depth. The attention to detail is remarkable, as every brushstroke brings out the serene expression on Christ's face. The artist masterfully captures his compassionate gaze and gentle smile, inviting viewers into a moment of profound connection with divinity. Originally part of a larger panel entitled "The Hodegetria Mother of God with 18 scenes from her Life" this particular section highlights the central figure - Jesus Christ himself. Influenced by both Northern (Novgorod) traditions and those from the Vologda region, it represents a harmonious blend of artistic styles that were prevalent during that era. Now preserved in a private collection, this iconic artwork continues to inspire awe and reverence. Its devotional nature transcends time and cultural boundaries, making it universally appreciated for its Byzantine influence and portrayal of Jesus Christ. As we gaze upon this print captured by A© Paul Freeman through his lens, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also its timeless message: an invitation to contemplate our faith and find solace in the presence of Christ.
