Title

Icon of the Virgin Nicopeia

Description

Looted from the Monastery of Stoudios in Constantinople, this icon of the Virgin was brought to Venice by Enrico Dandolo. This transfer was seen by some Venetians as representative of the transference of God's favor and blessing from Constantinople to Venice. The icon was previously decorated with gems, but they were similarly looted.
