Description: "Divine Mirrors examines the complex relationship between sacred imagery and secular identity in the art of the Madonna." "This work features the work of such renowned artists as Il Pintoricchio, Mantegna, Munch, and Leger, alongside fresh, undiscovered masters and little-known works of art. The book's fifty catalogue entries range from a rare thirteenth-century panel painting to a specially commissioned artwork exploring the intersection of religion and modern life."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: Catalog of an exhibition held at the Davis Museum and Cultural Center, Wellesley College, Wellesley, Mass.
