List of depictions of the Virgin and Child

For representations of Mary, alone or with Jesus, see Madonna (art). For images of the Virgin and Child with saints, see Sacra conversazione. For the treatment of incidents in the life of Mary, see Life of the Virgin.

Virgin and Child or Madonna and Child or Mary and Child usually refers to artistic depictions of Mary and Child Jesus together, as part of both Catholic and Orthodox church traditions, and very notably in the Marian art in the Catholic Church. The various different names are effectively interchangeable, and any particular work may be given different titles by different sources.
