Paintings and Art

There are a large number of articles on individual works of various sorts in Category:Virgin Mary in art and its sub-category. The term "Madonna" is sometimes used to refer to representations of Mary that were not created by Italians. A small selection of examples include:

• Golden Madonna of Essen, the earliest large-scale sculptural example in Western Europe and a precedent for the polychrome wooden processional sculptures of Romanesque France, a type known as Throne of Wisdom.
• Madonna of humility depicting a Madonna sitting on the ground, or low cushions
• Madonna and Child, a painting by Duccio di Buoninsegna, from around the year 1300.
• The Black Madonna of Częstochowa (Czarna Madonna or Matka Boska Częstochowska in Polish) icon, which was, according to legend, painted by St. Luke the Evangelist on a cypress table top from the house of the Holy Family.
• Madonna and Child with Flowers, possibly one of two works begun by the artist.
• Madonna Eleusa (of tenderness) has been depicted both in the Eastern and Western churches.
• Madonna of the Steps, a relief by Michelangelo.
• Madonna della seggiola, by Raphael
• Madonna with the Long Neck, by Parmigianino.
• The Madonna of Port Lligat, the name of two paintings by Salvador Dalí created in 1949 and 1950.
