Description
This hand-sculpted marble relief recreates the revered icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, belonging to the broader Virgin of the Passion iconographic tradition originating from Cretan-Venetian Byzantine art.
Every element of the original sacred painting has been meticulously replicated with 1:1 precision — from the exact positioning of the crown’s jeweled details to the delicate curvature of the angels’ wings — ensuring an unparalleled level of fidelity rarely achieved in stone reproduction.
Two angels appear in the upper corners, holding the instruments of Christ’s Passion — the lance and cross — a visual prophecy of the Saviour’s future suffering. The Virgin tenderly holds the Christ Child, whose gaze turns toward the symbols of the coming sacrifice. Traditional Orthodox iconographic abbreviations are faithfully carved into the marble surface: ΜΡ ΘΥ (Mother of God), ΙС ΧС (Jesus Christ).
Carved from solid natural marble, every detail — ornate crown, intricate halo tracery, deep fabric folds, soft facial features, and angelic figures — is realized in fine bas-relief. The neat square frame completes the solemn, devotional aesthetic.
Available in Two Editions:
Natural Marble Finish — Pure, timeless elegance showcasing the stone’s inherent beauty and carved craftsmanship.
Hand-Painted Polychrome Version — A true 1:1 color reproduction of the original icon, featuring deep ultramarine blue mantle, rich ochre tones, and radiant 24K gold leaf detailing on the halo, crown, and inscriptions — bringing the sacred image to life with museum-grade accuracy.
