Painting attributed to Theophanes the Greek From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Our Lady of the Don (Russian: Донская икона Божией Матери) is a 14th-century Eleusa icon representing the Virgin Mary with the infant Jesus Christ. The icon, currently held in Tretyakov Gallery, in Moscow, displays an Eleusa composition. The origins of the icon and the exact date of its creation are debated. It is believed that it was painted by Theophanes the Greek c. 1382–1395. The monastery book of Donskoy Monastery states that Our Lady of the Don was a gift from the Don Cossacks to Dmitry Donskoy the day before Battle of Kulikovo (1380).[1]
