Ethiopian Orthodox Icon, Late 17th-early 18th century

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The rich colors, especially the green and deep blue, are typical of this time period in Ethiopian icon painting. The emphasis on Mary's hand gesture, the Christ child's book and the shawl's decorative folds and star and cross ornaments derive from a Jesuit copy of an Italian engraving of a Santa Maria Maggiore icon. Mary's handkerchief, however, is an Ethiopian status symbol. Left panel top: "St. Mary," "Our God is crucified," and "St. John" the Evangelist middle: Four apostles or saints bottom: "St. George" and the dragon Center panel "St. Mary with Her Beloved Son" flanked by the archangels "St. Michael" (left) and "St. Gabriel" (right) Right panel top: "Painting of Resurrection" (the Descent into Sheol ([Underworld]), "Adam and Eve" middle: Four apostles or saints bottom: Four apostles or saints
