Icon Notre Dame de Paris

Magnificent icon specially created for Notre-Dame Cathedral. It represents the famous statue of the Virgin and Child in the cathedral, which remained intact after the fire in 2019: Notre Dame, also known as the Virgin of the Pillar.

Magnificent painting of the Virgin Mary and Jesus. A biblical icon filled with meaning and kindness, the Virgin Mary carrying Jesus on one of her shoulders. The icon has a universal message: the unconditional love of a mother for her son. Mary's posture means that she will always be there to help and accompany her son; Jesus can rest on his mother's shoulder and listen to her. The trust in each other is also underlined in this ancient painting, as the biblical protagonists look each other straight in the eye.

To own this icon is to say yes to a mother's love and faith. It is a reflection of your devotion. Trust your faith and your path will light up.

As for the technique used to paint the icon, it's tempera painting, an age-old technique that turns out to be a very complex piece of work. A state of mind and connection are essential: The painter prepared specifically to create the ‘iconographic work. It was an act that enabled him to enter into a relationship with God.

Hand-painted on a wooden board, coated with linen and plaster, using natural tempera and gold leaf. The slight irregularities that are visible bear witness to authentic craftsmanship.  Each iconographic creation is a singular work, impossible to reproduce.
