Mary, Mother of God
Devotion and Doctrine in the Visual Arts, 1450-1700
Series:
By clothing the Word with her flesh, the Virgin Mary made God visible, manifesting Christ as a perfect âimageâ of the Father. By virtue of this archetypal âartistryâ of Incarnation, Mary mediates the tradition of Christian image-making. This volume explores images of the Mother of God in early modern devotion, piety, and power. The book is divided into four sections, the first three of which link the subjects thematically and geographically in Europe, while the last one follows Maryâs legacy.
