Abstract

The purpose of this paper is twofold: to re-evaluate when the image of the Virgin with the epithet ‘Zoodochos Pege’ was created and to discuss why this Virgin, who appears with her hands raised and a frontal image of the Christ-child against her chest, sometimes with and sometimes without a miraculous spring, was chosen to represent an iconographic type known as Zoodochos Pege for the Pege monastery in Constantinople.
