THE MADONNA In ART
VARIED CONCEPTIONS BY THE
WORLDS GREATEST PAINTERS.

Raphacla sistine Madonna and the
madonna della sedfa"-A story
About MuriIlo's "Madonna of the
Napkin"
There is one subject for a picture
which has never grown old or tire
some 1t was seen in the rough daubs
Of the painters of the dark ages when
melted wax and coarse wood were the
artists materials and the knowledge
of anatomy was a fearful thing akin
to witchcraft; 1t is seen nowadays hung
in the Salon, painted on fine canvas
with paints that are almost luminous,
drawn by master hands and signed by
master names. The Madonna and the
Child-no subject has ever stirred the
hearts of men as this one has, because
no subject could be so universally un-
derstood. The Scholar and the prince,
the peasant woman and the little child,
none fails to grasp its meaning. and
through the hearts of all it sends a
kindred thrill.
1t would be impossible to make a
collection of all the Madonnas that
have been painted. There would be at
least a thousand, and they are scatter
ed all over the world, from Raphaels of
priceless value to the modest can
vases which adorn village churches.
There have been many controversies,
too, regarding the merit of the paint
ings, some preferring the modern Ma
donnas and some the ancient.
''What is the greatest Madonna ever
painted?' l asked a fashionable en-
graver. He pointed to an etching Of
the Sstine Madonna.
And what is the Madonna that you
have the most call for?" pursued. He
pointed to the same picture.
There is no doubt about 1t. 1t is the
of Raphael's long procession of Vir-
gins. The others were but studies for
this one. With the dignity of a moth
er and of a queen she holds her son in
her arms and shows him to the world,
as il hurt and angered by its sin. He
presses closer to her, with divine in
dignation in his eyes, but there is a
look in the Virgins face of infinite
compassion, as if she understood the
miseries Of men and would be their
mediator.
Another of Raphael's works was set
before me-the Madonna della Sedia," :"
or the Madonna with the chair, and
about this there is a pretty story. In
Italy there lived a peasant named Ma
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1900-12-19


Is, however, less well known Virgin
of Murillo about which there is a Gu
rious story. AS he was about to leave
a monastery where he had been execut-
ing an altar piece, the cook, a fervent
brother, begged the artist to paint him
. a little Madonna. The prayer was
such an earnest one that Murillo could
not refuse. There was no canvas ON
hand, so seizing a napkin he painted
on it a rough sketch of the Virgin.
The features were of such beauty that
it was carefully preserved and is to
this day known as the Madonna of
the Napkin"
Among the modern paintings the Ma
donna of Bodenhausen, with her long
flowing hair and her sweet faced Child,
is a great favorite. True, the girlish-
ness of the Virgin detracts somewhat
from her dignity, but that is the mod
ern idea. The "Virgin of Deliverance," :"
by Hebert, is a masterpiece and is one
of the very best of the modern con-
ceptions of Mary, combining as it does
great dignity with sweetness. The Ger
man artist Crosse, who spent some of
the best years of his life studying
Raphael, has painted an admirable
Madonna, but perhaps, of an living art
lists Bouguereau's talent for paint
ing beautiful young girls and lit
tie children enables him to give us the
most poetic and beautiful Virgin.
