| Summary: | This icon of the Theotokos Hodegetria is in Hull Collection and comes from
the Temple Gallery. The depiction of the Virgin Mary in half-length, turning
to the right, with her gaze fixed on the viewer, the manner of the depiction
and attitude of Jesus Christ, the rendering of their facial features, the
imposingness of the two figures and their movements, the pleats of the
clothes and the configuration of the two halos indicate the work of a highly
skilled painter. The iconographic and stylistic features of the icon are
dated to around 1400. |
