Madonna Nicopeia. Icon. Early 12th CE. Originally located in the monastery of Saint John the Theologian in Constantinople it was one of that city’s most precious icons. Known as the "Hodegetria," or "She who shows the way," the image was carried into battle by various Byzantine Emperors. Brought to Venice by Doge Enrico Dandolo (r. 1192-1205) as one of the many spoils of the Fourth Crusade of 1204, when the Christian armies sacked Constantinople on their way to Jerusalem. Egg tempera on wood.
