Theotokos of Vladimir

Theotokos of Vladimir, also known as Vladimir Mother of God, Our Lady of Vladimir (Russian: Влади́мирская ико́на Бо́жией Ма́тери, Ukrainian: Вишгородська ікона Божої Матері,
and the Theotokos of Vladimir (Greek: Θεοτόκος του Βλαντίμιρ), is a 12th-century Byzantine icon depicting the Virgin and Child and an early example of the Eleusa iconographic type.
It is one of the most culturally significant and celebrated pieces of art in Russian history.
Many consider it a national palladium with several miracles of historical importance to Russia being attributed to the icon.
Following its near destruction in the thirteenth century, the work has been restored at least five times.

The icon Our Lady of Vladimir was painted by an unknown artist most likely in Constantinople. It was sent to Kiev as a gift before being transferred to the Assumption Cathedral in Vladimir.
It is traditionally said that the icon did not leave the city until 1395, when it was brought to Moscow to protect the city from an invasion by Timur, although the historical accuracy of this claim is uncertain.
By at least the sixteenth century, it was in the Dormition Cathedral in Moscow where it remained until it was moved to the State Tretyakov Gallery after the Russian Revolution.
