Child is generally depicted with the noble
brow, and deep, thoughtful eyes, such
as would naturally develop with maturer
age into those of Him, who is regarded
by all men of the Christian faith as the
divine Son of God: who is regarded by
the hordes Of the N1oEammedan faith IS
one OF the greatest of all prophets; by
intellectual agnostics as one Of the most
consistent of philosophers.
In their pictures of the Madonna the
Old Masters depart considerably from
facts. For it is now generally believed
that Mary was about 1G years old at the
time of the nativity, but in all of tbs
conceptions of her she is made to appear,
anywhere from 25 to s. years of age
Maybe the masters could not associate
the idea of Intelligent motherhood with
a girl Of 16, or perhaps they could not get
models of that age who could assume
the correct expression. Again, since the
Holy Family We're pure Jews, it is likely
that Mary had black eyes and Jewish
features; but in the portraits of her she
is generally given blue eyes and the fea-
lures Of the women who live in the coun-
try in which the painting happens to
be made But in paintings made by ar
lists OF every nationality the essentials
of a Madonna face are the same-that
is, they all wear the expression Of purity,
faith. and patience which we expect upon
the countenance of the mother Of the Sa-
viour.
The Sstinc Madonna, by Raphael is
considered the best. In that picture Mary
is given Jewish features and the strength
and vivacity which we would expect In
woman who could compose the N1agnifi-
cent. The whole group in which this por-
trait appears represents the immaculate
Conception, and the painting is said to
be one OF such grandeur that visitors to
the room, where it hangs, never speak
above whisper on account OF the awe
with which it inspires them.
BY the way, it is interesting to note
the halo, or symbol OF holiness. which
in the form of a ring or band of light. is
generally placed over the head of each
member of the Holy Family. This halo
is also placed over the head of each Of
the Apostles. Marie Corelli has said that
tho masters We're unconsclously trying
to represent I'll electric current; the brill
liancy and power which seem to enanatc
from the features of one inspired.
IT would be impossible to name all the
pictures OF the Nativity, Immaculate
Conception, Flight Into Egypt, and 9th
ers of this kind, for there arc scores and
scores of them. But to name a few of
the most famous ones-The Immaculate
Conception, by Raphael ic considered the
best, This is called the Sistine Madonna,
from the fact that it was painted for
Pope Sixtus Y. That Pope was also the
model for one of the figures in this pic
ture and it is strange that he was paint
