Madonna and Child

myminifactory

The Madonna and Child or The Virgin and Child is often depicted in artworks as a representation of the Virgin Mary and her son Jesus Christ. In Italian, "Madonna" translates to "My Lady". Various forms of art that showcase the Christ Child alongside his mother Mary are deeply rooted in the Roman Catholic tradition worldwide, with notable examples found in Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, South America, and the Philippines. Icon paintings also play a significant role in the Orthodox Church, frequently portraying the Virgin Mary and her child Jesus. These icons can be seen predominantly in Eastern Europe, Russia, Egypt, the Middle East, and India.
