EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned Holy Mandylion, also known as The Vernicle. Created by a Russian icon artist, this masterpiece can be found in the esteemed collection of Petit Palais at Musee des Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris. The Holy Mandylion holds immense significance within Christianity and Orthodox Church traditions. It is an iconic representation of Jesus Christ's face, believed to have been miraculously imprinted on a cloth called the Image of Edessa or Vera. This sacred relic has been revered for centuries as it is said to depict the true countenance of Christ. Painted with meticulous detail using tempera on panel technique, this Russian icon beautifully captures the essence and divinity of Jesus' holy face. Its intricate brushwork and vibrant colors evoke a sense of awe and reverence. Legend tells that Abgarus of Edessa sought healing from Jesus but was unable to meet him in person due to his illness. Instead, he sent a messenger who brought back an image miraculously imprinted with Christ's features - The Vernicle. This remarkable print not only serves as a testament to fine artistry but also invites contemplation on faith and spirituality. It reminds us of the profound impact religious icons hold in shaping cultural heritage across time and continents.
