Product Description
A figure emblematic of Christianity, the Virgin Mary is also in herself the representative of a culture, an epoch. Finding in her an inexhaustible source of inspiration, artists have consistently used her image to acquaint us with a reflection of our own sufferings or our own joys. Anywhere and everywhere in the world, the Virgin remains a primary symbol of exceptional motherhood, of a woman who is essentially ageless and who has been radiating youthfulness, tenderness and compassion for two thousand years or more. Author Kyra Belan leads us on a comprehensive tour in time and space, analyzing the profound meanings in the images of the Virgin that inspiration has lent the artists. These worls of art--"photographs," in a way, of an epoch--simultaneously present a striking record of the rise in status of women in society. With more than 200 illustrations, two thousand years of human history are expressed in a single image--that of the Blessed Virgin, Christ's mother.

4 out of 6 found this review helpful
Kyra Belan's Madonnas: From Medieval To Modern is a truly stunning, full-color book that reproduces more than 200 artworks of the Blessed Virgin Mary, mother of Christ, and widely revered symbol of both Christianity and motherhood. Accompanying Belan provides an informative commentary text informing the reader of the context of each artwork, the name of the artist, and countless other relevant factors that affected the Virgin's enduring presence in paintings, murals, and sculptures, up to the present day. A truly beautiful artbook, Madonnas: From Medieval To Modern is enthusiastically recommended for anyone with an interest in the history of Christian art in general, and portrayals of the Blessed Virgin Mary in particular.
