The ViRgin Mary
This is
not a tribute to a Biblical figure...
But a
look at the values and symbolism of the Biblical figure.
Mary is so much more than a religious symbol. This woman is
symbolic of faith, womanhood and motherhood throughout history,
literature, and art. These aspects of the worship of Mary will be
discussed within this site. For this purpose, I have included two
perspectives: a literary/artistic perspective analyzing artistic
expressions, as well as a historical look at the reverence for Mary
during the Middle Ages. For further reference of the art
and writings mentioned within the papers, refer to Mentioned Art.
The Mary Gallery was
made not only for the art lovers among us, but as
further look into the artistic views of Mary (particularly at the
moment of Annunciation) throughout the centuries...
Enjoy!
