Celebrating the Divine Feminine - Day Five
Madonna del Parto (Pregnant Madonna) by Piero della Francesca (1415-1492)
For me her expression just exudes faith and trust. This is the most beautiful image of Mary I've ever seen. I came across it while on an art tour of Tuscany in the early 1990s, shortly before it was moved to a purpose built museum. At the time the fresco was situated behind the altar of a small church in the hill town of Monterchi. I feel very fortunate to have seen it before restoration,in all it's faded glory.
Wishing you peace and joy !

And I feel fortunate that you have shared this amazing image with us.
ReplyDeleteI especially love the painters who depict the madonna as pregnant and the ones of her discreetly nursing. She was fully human and I like to remember that as we tend to idolize and idealize her. You are fortunate to have seen this painting in person.
