Title :
Dressing the Hodegetria in Czestochowa [In the late fourteenth century Pauline brothers took custody of a painting of the Virgin and Child at their monastery on Jasna Góra in Poland. The Virgin holds the Child with her left arm and points toward him, a motif known as the
Hodegetria
or "She Who Points the Way" named for a famous prototype which allegedly belonged to the Hodegon Monastery in Constantinople and dated to the pre-iconoclastic era. In point of fact the motif became popular in the 11th century and was given a legendary origin. Title note supplied by Feminae.]
