Publisher's Synopsis
The Madonna is a central icon in western culture and religion, representing the 'eternal feminine'. At once divine but earthly, cosmic but human, she has a unique spirituality which draws us in and invites contemplation and reflection. This beautiful collection of 43 colour images of the Madonna by Raphael can be used for meditation, prayer or simply for appreciation. The book also includes a lecture by Rudolf Steiner on 'The Mission of Raphael in the Light of Spiritual Science' (Berlin Jan. 30, 1913; CW 62).
