The Madonna in Art Estelle M. Hurll, It is now about fifteen centuries since the Madonna with her Babe was first introduced into art, and it is safe to say that, throughout all this time, the subject has been unrivalled in popularity. It requires no very profound philosophy to discover the reason for this. The Madonna is the universal type of motherhood, a subject which, in its very nature, appeals to all classes and conditions of people. No one is too ignorant to understand it, and none too wise to be superior to its charm. The little child appreciates it as readily as the old man, and both, alike, are drawn to it by an irresistible attraction. Thus, century after century, the artist has poured out his soul in this all-prevailing theme of mother love until we have an accumulation of Madonna pictures so great that no one would dare to estimate their number. It would seem that every conceivable type was long since exhausted; but the end is not yet. So long as we have mothers, art will continue to produce Madonnas. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works.

Excerpt from The Madonna in Legend and History The faith of the earliest Christians, for a generation or two, rested mainly upon tradition - that is, upon what others had seen and heard and told, or only partly written. Even our present written Gos pels were more or less derived from such original sources. St. Paul bids his con verts hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle (2d Thess. Ii. And distinctly quotes (acts xx. 135) a saying by our Lord not noted elsewhere. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Vision of the Madonna The Vision of the Madonna. I. (Mary Loquitur.) Methought an angel came to me and said, "Fear not, thou hast found favor in the sight Of God, and art among all women blest." And then, as in a vision, I beheld Time like a scroll unrolled before mine eyes. Upborne, as if on angels' wings o'er earth, I watched the swift flight of the burdened years, With all the wonder and the suffering And final triumph of the Holy One. And first I saw below a bare, white plain And shepherds watching by their flocks by night. A wondrous light all round about them shone, A path of glory leading up to Heaven, That pulsed from rose to silver, as it were About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
