The Madonna in Art

"The Madonna in Art" by Estelle M. Hurll is a deep look at Madonna art that shows motherhood through paintings and styles from different times. This book is not about the history of the Virgin Mary, but instead, it's about how artists painted her as a mother. The author looks at the different types of Madonna art, sorting them by how they are made and what they show. The book starts by talking about how popular Madonna art has always been, because everyone can understand the idea of motherhood. The author then explains the ways she will sort the art, getting ready to explore the different styles and how they show love, respect, and the perfect image of the Madonna.
