The touching Neroccio’s Mother of God Icon, tenderly depicts Mary not simply as the Θεοτόκος (the Theotokos, the “God-bearer” – the Mother of God), but just as significantly as a real mother – a new mother who is tenderly holding and caressing her newborn child . This 5.9 x 4 inch icon is reproduction of a painting by Neroccio di Bartolomeo de’ Landi of Siena (1447-1500). This icon is indeed a perfect Christian gift for home chapels or devotional areas.

Neroccio Di Bartolomeo De’ Landi

Neroccio di Bartolomeo de’ Landi was an Italian painter and sculptor of the early-Renaissance (Quattrocento) period in Siena. Neroccio’s Mother of God Icon is now on display in the Le musée des Beaux-Arts in Dijon, France.
