Alex Bradley Art has been inspired from many literature and religious sources in the early stages of our civilization. Art forms were regarded to be reserved to be used in the religious context for a long time before they were used in the public context and for recreation.
In the beginning, as well as a long time after that, all the way to today. A historic duo has always inspired artists of many ages. It is the holy duo of Madonna and the Child. The virgin Mary has been blessed by the Holy Spirit to bear the Son of God even though she was a Virgin. This Mother and Child bond was depicted in art through out thousands of years in the art of Madonna and Child.

This shows the devotion that Mary had towards God and his holy spirit. With the arrival of the renaissance, a new art form was practiced; realism. During and after the 15th Century, a lot of realism paintings of Madonna and the Child are found.
