I still like the paintings, for the religious symbolism and for the fact that there is a mother and child in these paintings.
It can be a very powerful image indeed.
Have a good weekend all. :)

Madonna and Child paintings
I've always been a fan of "Madonna and Child" paintings. Madonna means Mary, Mother of Christ. Having been raised catholic, these types of paintings were found at my house and at church.
I still like the paintings, for the religious symbolism and for the fact that there is a mother and child in these paintings.
It can be a very powerful image indeed.

ReplyDeleteI like them too but there can be limits. In the medieval section of the National Gallery in London are wonderful things. But so many Madonna and childs that last time I went I felt all Madonna and childed out.
That doesn't look like the Madonna I know. Where's the huge bleached hair and pointy steel bra cups?
