Images of the Holy Mother

What a great book! I've owned it for several years and I still browse through it for the beautiful art. Includes everything from the first images of the Virgin Mary in a Roman catacomb to Salvador Dali. If you're looking for information on the Blessed Mother, this isn't the book for you but if you want to see all kinds of depictions of the Virgin, this is a great resource. I loved it!

Mary Art

This is a beautiful book with a very broad range of madonna-art in it. There is a great deal of variety in the countries and movements represented. Not a great deal of narrative, sometimes you have to do outside research to find out more details but in terms of quality and variety, this one is a very good deal for the price.

Chronicle.

As usual, Chronicle Books presents a lavish book. This is simply a physically beautiful work. I would not be surprised in the least if giving this book becomes a First Communion or Confirmation gift tradition.
