Madonna with child, Mpls Institute of Art


I asked this glowing Madonna with child to turn sideways so you can appreciate she is not only chicly put together but chicly put together and seven months pregnant, which adds a special level of accomplishment. Truth? The heels were not comfortable but I assured her this posting made it all worthwhile. As it happens, this was taken in a gallery of 14th - 16th century portraits of women focusing on the social and political messages telegraphed by the paintings rather than any revelation of personality. In sharp contrast, I aim to reveal and celebrate individuality and personality through attire -- in this case, a beautiful, self-assured woman.
