Pokhvala zastupnitse: obraz Bogoroditsy v pamiatnikakh Novgorodskogo muzeia-zapovednika (Glory to the intercessor: images of the Mother of God in artworks from the Novgorod Museum-Preserve), 9785990878211
Moscow: Muzei-zapovednik Tsaritsyno, 2016. Pb. This catalogue of an exhibition at Tsaritsyno Museum-Preserve publishes works in several genres — metalwork, embroidery, and icon painting — in which the Blessed Virgin is depicted. The reverence accorded Mary in Eastern Orthodox Christianity meant that her image occurred frequently in works of religious art: the authors explicate the works whose iconography draws on the Gospels and apocryphal sources. From her wondrous birth to aged parents to her mourning of her crucified son, the Blessed Virgin's life as understood by artists in Russia from the 15th to the 19th centuries shapes the works published here from the Novgorod Museum-Preserve, some of which were restored for this exhibition and are published here for the first time. 79 p., 24 cm, approx. 70 color illus., Rus. Item #3253
