madonnaandchild.jpg

Sorry for the rather poor quality of this image, but as you can tell it is behind glass and I only had my phone with me. The image was in a small church in a village in Cyprus. I know little about it, but i love the austere look and the sense of peace in the church was profound. I wish you all a very peaceful, healthy and happy festive season and a good new year. Looking forward to sharing more images soon.

Such a beautiful Medieval iconic Madonna. Really like this. Painting must be 700 years old...

This is wonderful, Andrea. I too love the feeling of peace that this conveys.
Have a wonderful and meaningful Christmas Season.

This must be very old.
l've never seen a Madonna and Child like this one.
The Christ Child is portrayed as a 10 or 12 year old
rather than as an infant. Unusual.
And the clothing is different too. Very beautiful.
Thanks for the post and all the very best for the
coming year.

Have a great Christmas, Andrea.
Take care.
