Epiphany Art
Madonna and Child
Jennifer Bell
Water-based paints on board
Approx. 60 × 30 cm
2000
Description:
A medieval carved Madonna and Child metamorphoses into a portrait of a real person — a friend of the artist. The work carries a clear theological argument: that the biblical figures we canonise were real people, and we should remember their lived humanity.
Inspiration:
The Incarnation as the ground of all Christian art — the biblical figures were flesh and blood, just as we are.
Availability:
