Madonny :
An Interpretive Journey
Through Poland's Marian Tradition
Images of motherhood are
universally revered, transcending race, creed, and colour. The Christian
tradition of representing the ideal example of motherhood in the image
of the Virgin Mary has been embraced by cultures around the world. The
devotion and veneration of the Virgin Mary has a long history in Poland.
"Madonny" (Polish for Madonnas) is an interpretation
of one of Poland's national symbols through the medium of fine art photography
by respected photographer Mirek Weichsel, presented by the Ogniwo Polish
Museum.
