Mother of God and Child with Saints Theodore and George
The Mother of God is enthroned with the Christ Child between Saints Theodore and George, with angels above. The composition distinguishes its human and heavenly participants.
Key points
- The Child remains the center of the confession: Mary is honored because of the one she bore.
- The standing saints and upward-looking angels form a deliberate arrangement around Mother and Child.
- This is an enthroned Theotokos composition, not the Vladimir icon or a Hodegetria label.
