" In this image, various subjects are combined and compose a triumphant praise to the Virgin Mary, who is depicted in the center of the composition, in glory, with Christ in her arms and on a throne of seraphim. Around her in concentric circles of increasing width are the wheels, cherubim, angels, zodiacs, the Twelve and houses of Akathistos, scenes from Genesis and above and in the middle church with the Crucified. In the lower part, in a lagoon reminiscent of Venice, the Upper Jerusalem is depicted, as well as saints, who are lined up in dense hierarchical groups. Thus the whole universe and the human race praises the Virgin Mary for her role in the Incarnation.
Ελληνικά:
Εικονογράφηση του ύμνου «Επί Σοι Χαίρει» τέλη 16ου αιώνα, 47x71,5εκ. Γεώργιος Κλόντζας "Επιγραφή: ΕΠΙ CΟΙ ΧΑΙΡΕΙ ΚΕΧΑΡΙΤΩΜΕΝΗ ΠΑCΑ Η KTICIC, ΑΓΓΕΛΩΝ ΤΟ CΥCTHMA KAI ANΘΡΩΠΩΝ ΤΟ ΓΕΝΟC. Υπογραφή: ΣΠΟΥΔΙ Κ[ΑΙ] ΚΟΠΟΣ, ΤΟΥ ΓΕΩΡΓΙΟΥ ΚΛΟΤΖΑ" Στην εικόνα αυτή συνδυάζονται διάφορα θέματα και συνθέτουν μία θριαμβευτική δοξολογία προς την Παναγία, η οποία εικονίζεται στο κέντρο της σύνθεσης, μέσα σε δόξα, με τον Χριστό στην αγκαλιά της και σε θρόνο από σεραφείμ. Γύρω της σε ομόκεντρους κύκλους που έχουν αυξανόμενο πλάτος, υπάρχουν οι τροχοί, τα χερουβείμ, οι άγγελοι, τα ζώδια, το Δωδεκάορτο και οίκοι του Ακαθίστου, σκηνές από τη Γένεση και επάνω και στη μέση εκκλησία με τον Εσταυρωμένο. Στο κάτω μέρος, μέσα σε μία λιμνοθάλασσα που θυμίζει τη Βενετία εικονίζεται η Άνω Ιερουσαλήμ, αλλά και άγιοι, οι οποίοι παρατάσσονται σε πυκνές ιεραρχημένες ομάδες. Έτσι όλο το σύμπαν και το ανθρώπινο γένος υμνεί την Παναγία για τον ρόλο της στην Ενσάρκωση.
