The icon of the Mother of God
 

Please express your opinion about this icon - and presumably otsenka.Spasibo attribution.

Virgin Glikofilussa - Sweet kiss.

It seems - Souvenir Greek or Cypriot icon of the style of old.

And one more, do not count for arrogance.

One of the icons of the Virgin harass - Tenderness (Eleousa).
This type is popular in Bulgaria, and in Russian iconography is such an icon - "Igorevskaya."
 
And the execution - obviously a souvenir.
Fresh painting on the old board.

Korsun on Igorevskaya baby left.

On Igorevskaya baby is on the left and the right.

And at Korsun should be written hands of God.

But this is not Igorevskaya and Korsun, and Greek or Bulgarian icon, called a common word "Affection"

Yes?
How interesting.
:)


And on Igorevskaya no hands?
:D

On Igorevskaya may to see the brush of the Virgin, but extremely rare.
A iconography Korsun implies required image of the Virgin on hand icon.

No. It is a different icon. If interested - look there on the site, almost all of the samples are.
 But , the question is why, and when , for example, the icon type Tenderness called - one of Vladimir , another Don , another Kykkos even Igoreskaya etc. .. ...
 and as further developed in the centuries iconography of each image - an interesting question , but it did not reach us now .
 Should start separate topics and there is this whole websites and portals ... :)
