Hello,

I have a framed picture of Mary with the baby Jesus hanging here, only I would like to know a little more about it. Such as where it could come from, what style of art is it here, or does the performance belong to a certain religious group, such as Greek Orthodox? Thanks in advance for the info.

Just seems like a Catholic. My parents used to have something similar.

You may be able to ask the question via email via museum Krona in Uden (see internet site). That is what I understood.

@ Harry56

Thanks for the tip, I have already sent them an email and if I hear from them, I will post it here.

Dear People,

The Krona has responded and they wrote to me that this is a copy of the Icon of Our Lady in Perpetual Assistance from probably the 15th century. The original is in Rome.

I did some research myself and the Icon seems to have been made in a Cretan Monastery (hence my suspicion of Greek Orthodox influences). There are even claims that the original image is much older and made by Luke the Evangelist.

In any case, it is an important image in both the Latin and Orthodox Church.

But maybe most of them already knew this.

Wonderful that extra information! Isn't it useful to include them in the catalog with details? "Most people already knew this" it doesn't seem to me that someone would have responded. So valuable information

You are absolutely right Harry56, I have (tried) to change it.

You did it, nice description. My hobby is also figuring things out, sometimes it doesn't work out.
