THE VIRGIN

THE VIRGIN– 13^th CENTURY MOSAIC– BASILICA DI SAN MARCO, VENICE

The frontal image of the standing Virgin allows you to admire the majestic grace of the hooded cape embroidered with gold stars, draped on the shoulders and embellished at the edges with knotted golden fringe; the wide tunic with tight sleeves is adorned at the wrists with a jeweled golden embroidery and belt at the waist of a golden cord to which a fringed handkerchief, with gold embroidery, is attached.
