Introduction: From most of the pieces on display in the early renaissance corridor on the second floor of the museum, Lorenzo Monaco’s “Madonna and Child” caught my eye in very radical manner. A medium-sized tempera piece layered on panel placed right of the second room of the corridor. As stated on the panel below the painting, it was conceived and crafted between the years of 1370-1371 in Florence, Italy during the early renaissance.

Can God’s Grace Be “Banked” Last month, I made a telephone call to a man I’ve known for more than 20 years. For the purpose of this article, I’m going to call him “Luke.” I hadn’t seen Luke for several months and I wanted to see what was going on with him. Before he disappeared, I saw him at least once a week in the adoration chapel. After Luke stopped showing up at the chapel, I asked another person who knows him what had happened to him.

Guadalupe's skin color and black hair are both important factors to consider during the interpretation of the painting, as no other image in the Spain had depicted Mary in this

The Virgin Mary is the most enigmatic figure of the New Testament, her role, as Mother of the Church was not defined within the gospels chronicling Jesus’ life.

Mary was the mother of Jesus Christ. Mary was also a saint of the lord. God came down and told her. You are going to be blessed with a child of, god. And you will be the virgin Mary of, God. Mary was blessed by Jesus. When she had Jesus, god gave her to never sin. He never did. “Mary is one of the most admired figures in scripture and considered by many to be the greatest of all Christian saints.” She becomes a saint. “An angel comes down to her and say you are having a child of god.” God picks

the churches popularity influenced many artists to depict biblical senses in their artwork. In Virgin and Child from Saint-Denis, presents an expressive Mary delicately cradling her child Christ. In contrast Raphael’s Small Cowper Madonna uses a balance of harmony and celebration of humanity to portray an authoritative and solid painting of an affectionate Mary while holding her son Christ. The Virgin and Child was donated to the abbey by the French queen Jenne d’Evreux. This statue was possibly
