Description : Madre di Dio del roveto ardente
Tempera on panel. The depiction of the Mother of the Burning Bush features Mary and the Baby Jesus at the center of an eight-pointed star composed of two overlapping diamonds: one red (the fire) and one green or dark (the bush). Angels circle around. The burning bush, a symbol of God speaking to Moses in the Book of Exodus, prefigures the Incarnation: just as the bush burned without being consumed, Mary carried God in her womb without being consumed, a symbol of her virginity before, during, and after giving birth. This icon is venerated as a protector from fires. The panel features small losses of paint. It depicts Mary as the bush seen by Moses, burning without being consumed, a symbol of her virginity before, during, and after giving birth.
