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.
