Icon depicting Madonna with the Child, Veneto-Cretan school, 17th century
Altezza x larghezza: 48 x 25 cm.
The Virgin of Smolensk belongs to the fundamental type of depiction of the Virgin Odigitria, understood as "She who shows the way".
The Virgin retains the solemnity that characterises the canon of the Virgin Odigitria, she is presented frontally with her head gently inclined towards her son, seated on her left arm, her left hand outstretched towards Jesus Christ, whos represented by a child-like figure but with adult features and attitudes, blessing with his right hand and holding a scroll with the divine law in his left hand.
