Nativity Of Mary

Dublin Core

Title

Nativity Of Mary

Description

The scene of the Nativity of Mary occupies the lunette’s tympanum on the northern wall within the bema area and according to stylistic terms, it is dated to the original programme of the mural decoration of the church.
The episode consists of two scenes. The larger one shows Anna, mother of Mary, sitting on a bed, two maids bearing food and Joachim overlooking his spouse from an open window. Additionally, on the right corner below, two maids are bathing the new-born Mary.
Inspiration for the stylistic representation of the episode is drawn from the pagan art. A representative example in the Cypriot context is the ‘Birth of Achilles’ mosaic in Nea Paphos, dated to the fifth century A.D
