I. goes back to Catholic. the image of the "Madonna with rosary", or "the Madonna of the rosary" (ital. Madonna del Rosario - it. Rosenkranzmadonna - Pol. Matka Boska Rozancowa - words. Roznovenska Mati Bozja), emerged in the late middle ages and reflecting the development of the veneration of the mother of God on the Catholic. The West. Behind the image lies read on the rosary prayers - rosary, during to of which remember 15 of the sacraments in the life of the blessed. Virgin: 5 joyful (the Annunciation, the Meeting of Mary and Elizabeth, the Nativity, the Presentation, the cutting off), 5 sorrowful (agony in the garden, Flagellation, Crowning with thorns, carrying the cross, Crucifixion), 5 glorious (Resurrection, Ascension, descent of the Holy. Spirit, The Ascension Of The Virgin, Coronation Of The Virgin). The iconography of the "Madonna with the rosary" is a picture of the virgin Mary with the Infant Christ on his hands, stretching the upcoming rosary - the rosary (with a few exceptions, the beads may be only a Baby). The virgin Mary with the Christ portrayed in the growth (or sitting) on a throne in the clouds, on the Crescent. Their apparel are not subject to strict Canon, as a rule, the infant with the head of the virgin decorates the crown. Sometimes the cloak of the virgin, as in the images of the "Madonna of Mercy" (Madonna della Misericordia), forms a cover for the Crimea are coming. The beads have a cross and large beads that divide the string to several. parts. There are still a number of this iconography in which the virgin Mary with the Infant surrounded by the following scene: "the Annunciation", "the Meeting of Mary and Elizabeth", "Christmas", "Purification", "the cutting off", "agony in the garden", the "Flagellation of Christ", "the Coronation of thorns", "Christ carrying the cross", "Crucifixion", "Resurrection", "Resurrection", "descent of the Holy. Ghost," "Ascension Of The Mother Of God", "Coronation Of The Virgin". In NEK-ryh the compositions of these scenes are arranged in 3 groups of 5 subjects. In the song "the rosary" is usually included images of flowers, mainly roses (rose garden - a wreath of roses) (L. Menase Marija v Slovenski umetnosti: ikonologija marijanske slovenski umetnosti od zacetkov do prve svetovne vojne. Celje, 1994. No. 143-148). The rose garden - home prayer rule, hence often found on icons of the "Madonna with rosary" the image of the donor or their patron Saint - as an expression of the personal, the personal supplications of the customer.
The rose garden has become a source of inspiration for the authors of the collection "the Star most bright" and the icon of Murom, in which an attempt was made to include the Orthodox. use innovations with the Catholic. the roots, which is often practiced in the 2nd floor. XVII V. "Z. P." I. represents close to Catholic. the iconography of the image, although the beads replaced with a cross on a chain. The Central image repeats one of the many options of images, the composition of the scenes corresponds exactly to the Canon of the rosary. Obviously, the painter had a graphic pattern, which was reproduced on the icon with minimal changes.
The Mother Of God Icon "The Star Most Bright". 70-80-ies of the XVII century (Tsmiar)The inner circle of dogmatic and iconographic themes represented in the icon of the 70s-80s of the XVII century from the Nativity Cathedral of the city of Balakhna, Nizhny Novgorod region (Tsmiar), dubbed "the Star most bright" when receiving in 1964 to the Museum. The icon shows the Madonna on a throne in Royal garb, with the Infant Christ surrounded by pink clouds - lights. From him emanate the subtle rays of light and likeness of tongues of fire, which "generate" external glow, its rays posted 17 scenes from the life of the blessed. Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ - history of the economy of salvation: "Nativity of the virgin", "Annunciation at the well", "Christmas", "Purification", "the cutting off", "Washing feet," "the Agony in the garden", "the Taking into custody of Christ", "Crucifixion", "entombment", "Rise from the grave", "the appearance to Mary Magdalene", "the Descent into hell", "Ascension of Christ", "descent of the Holy. Spirit", "The Coronation Of The Virgin", "The Last Judgement". At the foot of the throne is represented kneeling saints on the left and the AP. James, the brother of the Lord Martyr. Kondrat (probable namesake of the depositor Cathedral Kondrat Ilyin, the Archpriest "Grand assumption Cathedral, Moscow" - see: the Scribe book of Balakhna. P. 19), AP. John the Theologian, the right - up. Simeon, BP. Jerusalem, the righteous Joachim and Anna. In the "inventory of monuments of Church antiquities", 1904, the icon is called "the mother of God, the Root of Virginity". Historically fixed name of the icon became the text of the prayer to the Theotokos Canon of Mont. Fosterite placed on the tape to manure: "O virgin, Lady, Mother of my Lord, the Creator of all, You are the Root of virginity and the Unfading blossom of purity, of Heavenly rank and rejoicing to the human race the Blessed Helper, pray to Your Son about the salvation of all Christians." The relationship between the historical name and iconography can not be traced. Known image (e.g., engraving 1st floor. The XVIII century (?) from the collection of A. V. olsufiev - RNB. Coll. Olsufiev. No. 86), where the image of the mother of God iconography other than the participant's icon, but with text of the same prayer. This may indicate a certain prevalence of the text and the lack of its direct connection with the iconography.
The similarity of the participant and Murom icons no doubt. The Creator participant of the icons, obviously, also had before it a Zap. sample, inspired by the illustrations of the rosary. This is indicated by centric composition with the marks placed like a wreath around the virgin, quantity, division into 3 parts, a characteristic glow. However, the icon of Balakhna harder in composition and similar to a traditional Orthodox iconography. The painter changed the composition of the scenes depicting separate scenes for 2 of the story. The end of the story cycle composition on the theme of the last judgment, does not comply with the Canon of the rosary, finds an analogy in the "rose garden" Alberto di Castello. Based on illustrations starting each of the 3 sections of the book, the motif of a flower with 5 large and 5 small petals in the center of which is a wreath with the image of our lady in different iconographic types, including the Imperial crown on the throne in the glow of the languages of the "flame". Among the illustrations - the virgin with the crown of 12 stars on a Crescent moon in radiance (Castello. 1556. P. 179), i.e. "a woman clothed with the sun" (Rev 12. 1)- the relationship of the iconography of the "woman clothed with the sun" and "the rosary", see Leksikon. 1985. S. 167. At the end of "the rosary" placed the texts and illustrations representing the completion of the history of the economy of salvation: the glory of the righteous, the renewal of the world and the occurrence of a future life, which is close to the 3rd part of the story cycle icons from Balakhna. Thus, the Catholic image of the "Madonna with the rosary" in Russian. the icons have been reflected in at least 2 simultaneously written, slightly different in terms of iconography, the images, one of which is known as "the Star most bright".
