Whoa. That's something. I like it.
I too always picture Mary as a High-Middle Ages knight with a cross
I recommened this translated page describing the history of the icon

Fascinating.
I did a thing https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/themewx/sleigh-ride
Tomb of St. Stephen the Great, Prince of Moldavia, cousin of Vlad the Impaler
Wow. I can really see the family resemblance.
> inb4 "muh divine simplicity" cannot fathom 1 Jn. 4:12 and Jn 1:18 being compatible
did you just write that the father is the essence?
Difference between divine simplicity and absolute divine simplicity bruh
Divine simplicity is not a concept that accepts gradation. It's a very simple concept.
The entire upper part, with the graph, is labelled as "essence"
10 year difference

Ay!
Now the painted version with gold leaf
Orrrrrr I'll just frame it lol
looks like a gnostic emanation graph but drawn with emojis
Except it's all Christian symbols and colors that have been traditionally used in icons...
I see no human persons in this alleged icon.
A bunch of disks, a book, a water drop, gadolig sagraments, and muh keys
