Description
Poland Madonna Virgin Mary Our Lady of Grace. Our Lady of the Gate of Dawn icon. The painting of Our Lady of Ostrabrama in Vilnius in Lithuania, called also Mother of Mercy. A Polish-Lithuanian Madonna.
The original of the holy image of Our Lady of Ostrabrama is housed in the chapel of the Dawn Gate of Vilnius, Lithuania.
The original painting is 163 x 200 cm and was painted by an unknown artist on 8 oak planks around 1630. It was covered with silver and gold around 1671. The head of Madonna is adorned with two crowns. Two little angels lower the crown with colored glass inlays upon the smaller crown. The two crowns, made of pure gold, were blessed by Pope Pius XI in 1927. On July 2, 1927 a coronation ceremony took place and the painting received the title of Mother of Mercy.
The painting is an unusual portrayal of Mary since she is depicted without the infant Jesus.
