Summary "The Madonna in Art" by Estelle M. Hurll is an illustrated study of Madonna art as a revelation of motherhood, written in the late 19th century. The book explores the various representations and themes surrounding the figure of the Madonna in art history, focusing on how artists have depicted her relationship with her child across different styles and periods. The opening portion of the work introduces the aim of the book, clarifying that it is not concerned with historical or legendary details about the Virgin Mary but rather with the artistic embodiment of her role as a mother. The author outlines a systematic approach to categorizing Madonna imagery based on stylistic composition and thematic significance. Beginning with a historical overview, Hurll notes the enduring popularity of Madonna artworks, emphasizing the universal appeal of motherhood that these images embody. She introduces initial classification methods for Madonna imagery, setting the stage for a detailed examination of different artistic styles and their portrayal of maternal love, reverence, and the idealization of the Madonna figure.
