Madonna and Child

The Madonna and Child is a name often given to artworks that showcase the Virgin Mary with her son Jesus Christ. This term comes from Italian, where "Madonna" translates directly to "My Lady." Artworks featuring Christ's mother, Mary, and him are deeply rooted in Roman Catholic traditions worldwide, including Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, South America, and the Philippines. Paintings known as icons hold significant importance within the Orthodox Church and frequently depict Mary alongside her son Jesus Christ. These icons can be found predominantly in Eastern Europe, Russia, Egypt, the Middle East, and India.
