Madonna


Images of the Madonna and Madonna and Child are one of the central icons of Christianity, representing the Madonna or Mary, mother of Jesus, by herself or, rather more often, with her son Jesus. After some initial resistance and controversy, the formula Theotokos ("Mother of God") was adopted officially by the Christian Church at the Council of Ephesus in 431, beginning the period of over a thousand years when images of Mary were central to Western art.

"Madonna", if used to describe a work of art, rather than a single figure in one, means a portrait-style image of Mary, but is often loosely used for those of the "Madonna and Child" as well, and the presence of angels will not affect the use of the term, as opposed to an altarpiece of the "Madonna and Saints", or a narrative painting of a scene from the Life of the Virgin, which will have a specific title for that scene, such as the Annunciation to Mary. Most often, and nearly always if holding Jesus, Mary is seated, and shown at half-length or full-length, but in various types of image she is shown alone, at full-length and standing.
