  • when i studied European art history, these Catholic portraits of mary and Jesus comprised half of the curriculum. although I’m not religious, I’ve come to appreciate the many hundreds(?) of renditions in their own unique styles. I’ve seen one in person at a museum that was worth millions because of it’s history and contribution to the growth of human art. unfortunately, the reason we see a lot of these paintings is also because of Christian colonialism that erased other religious artwork from history
