^click photo to enlarge^ Greek Madonna is an Italian jacquard woven wall tapestry. A Madonna is a representation of Mary, either alone or with her child Jesus. These images are central icons for both the Catholic and Orthodox churches. The word is from Italian ma donna, meaning my lady. No image permeates Christian art as much as the image of the Madonna and child The earliest such images date from the Early Christian Church and are found in the Catacombs of Rome. For over a thousand years, through the Byzantine, Medieval and Early Renaissance periods the Madonna was the most often produced pictorial artwork. Many specific images of the Madonna, both painted and sculptured, have achieved fame, either as objects of religious veneration or for their intrinsic artistic qualities. Many of the most renowned painters and sculptors in the history of art have turned their skills toward the creation of Madonna images.
