Description
Virgin and Child or Madonna and Child or Mary and Child usually refers to artistic depictions of Mary and Child Jesus together, as part of both Catholic and Orthodox church traditions, and very notably in the Marian art in the Catholic Church. The various different names are effectively interchangeable, and any particular work may be given different titles by different sources.The Virgin and Child are rooted in Christian scripture, particularly the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, which recount Mary as the mother of Jesus. She is honored as theotokos (Greek for “God-bearer”), a title affirmed at the Council of Ephesus in 431 AD. This title underscores Mary’s unique role in salvation history as the mother of Christ, both fully divine and fully human.
