THE ICON-FACE OF THE VIRGIN MARIAM IN AKAKI TSERETELI’S WORKS

Abstract

The work discusses the iconography of the Virgin Mariam according to
Akaki Tsereteli’s works, whose artistic tissue is widely distributed by her
powerful protector and faith in endurance and constant existence.
In the Georgian artistic thinking the creators often reshape the biblical
forms which give them a great chance to express in depth in the artistic tissue
that they have in mind.
In this case, the story of the poet is related to the icon-face of the Virgin
Mariam, which has a significant place in Akaki’s works of different genres,
which will further strengthen the power of the Virgin Mariam, the grace of
her patron, and the faith in the immortal world that enables her to endure.
The belief of the religious is the connector of the heaven and the world,
eternity and transition which is highlighted in putting ahead the idea of
Virgin Mariam’s interest in the artistic thinking which indicates that the
Mariam, Mother Goddess always protected her land -Georgia.
The icon-face of Virgin Mariam who is a protector of the Georgian people
is set out in Akaki Tsreteli’s artistic thinking. With her help and support
Georgia always fought against trials, it has survived for many centuries and
strengthened with the faith of eternal life . The samples of Georgian writing,
along with the Bible, played the largest role in establishing the human consciousness
in a different way and in seeing the better way.
