About the Item

Discover this exquisite handcrafted brass repoussé and enameled wall plaque of Mary and Baby Jesus, a breathtaking example of European devotional artistry—possibly of Russian Orthodox or Italian Catholic origin. This remarkable icon features a richly detailed repoussé brass oklad (cover), meticulously worked by hand to showcase flowing robes, dimensional drapery, and intricate floral borders. The halos surrounding Mary and Christ are adorned with vibrant blue and white enamel accents, adding depth, color, and spiritual radiance to the piece. Mary’s serene, compassionate expression and the tender gesture of the Christ Child evoke a timeless sense of peace, love, and divine protection. The plaque’s raised metalwork, combined with the hand-painted faces, reflects traditional techniques commonly associated with 19th–20th century iconography found in Russian Orthodox homes and Italian devotional altars. This piece makes an extraordinary addition to any religious art collection, sacred space, prayer room, or fine European décor setting. Its craftsmanship, symbolism, and presence give it both aesthetic and spiritual value. Whether hung on a wall or displayed on a stand, this brass and enamel icon brings elegance, history, and a sense of reverence to any interior. Measures 12.5 tall x 10.5 wide x 1.25 deep

19th Century Russian Icon of the Virgin and Child

19th Century Russian Icon of the Virgin and Child

Located in Madrid, ES

Beautiful Russian icon of the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, painted and gilded during the 19th century. Rich in spiritual significance and devotional character, this icon represents one of the most beloved subjects of Eastern Orthodox religious art. The composition depicts the Virgin Mary (Theotokos) tenderly holding the infant Jesus in her arms, emphasizing her role as the Mother of God and intercessor for humanity. The serene expressions, solemn gaze, and sacred intimacy between mother and child reflect the profound symbolism and theological depth characteristic of Russian iconography. Executed in oil and enhanced with gilded decoration, the icon displays the traditional artistic conventions of Orthodox painting, including stylized features, symbolic colors, and a luminous golden background that evokes the divine realm. The gilding beautifully complements the painted surface, creating a rich visual effect and enhancing the devotional presence of the work. Produced during the 19th century, a period of continued flourishing of icon painting in the Russian Empire, this piece would have served as an object of private devotion or as part of a domestic icon corner, a central element of Orthodox spiritual life. Its intimate dimensions make it ideal for display in a collection of religious art, iconography, devotional objects, or Eastern European antiques...
