George, I have long loved this icon (archetype). The particular image depicted here is the most beautiful one I have seen. The colors and details are glorious! l/f

I was given a post card of this painting when I was about 10 years old.I still have it.The original painting survived fires that's why she turned black and bandits.The story goes that the scars on the face came from a man who tryed to destroy the painting,when real blood came out he ran away.

This icon has a rich and beautiful history. My grandmother brought this image back when she came to America from Poland. It is special to me as it seems to be for you,Thank you Krystyna!

Thank you for the description. The beadwork (?) on Madonna and Child is stunning. Liked
