About the piece

Created in 1701, this oil on canvas work follows the tradition of the miraculous weeping Madonna icons. The composition is dominated by the Virgin's vibrant red mantle and the serene Christ child, both adorned with decorative halos characteristic of Eastern European religious art. The inscription at the base provides historical context to its liturgical origins.
