Alfredo Tradigo, with extraordinary care, selected pearls of art, creating a visual poem that makes us feel like we are in a museum full of extraordinary exhibits. His concise but wise commentaries guide us through the thousands of shades in which the figure of Mary has been described not only in the Bible and apocryphal texts, but also in the artistic message of various eras. Each page of this album is a piece of beauty that invites you to stop and contemplate, to get to know the Mother of Jesus more deeply.

The album is divided into two parts. In the first part, the author leads us through the faces of the women of the Old Testament, and then presents the story of Mary, from her birth to the events related to her pregnancy. The second part of the album opens to the mysterious alchemy that took place in Mary's womb, enabling the transition from listening to the word to "seeing", which is key to the New Testament. Birth, rendered in stone and paint, allows us to "see" the invisible God. Thanks to human genius and the poetics of art, we can see what the eyes of Mary, Joseph and the disciples saw, although we were not given to be eyewitnesses of these events.

The Jedność publishing house presents the album in a hardcover with a dust jacket, which adds elegance and durability. The 220x293 mm format makes the reproductions clear and detailed, and the 368 pages are filled with a wealth of content and images. The year of publication, 2025, guarantees that the album is up-to-date and contains the latest research and interpretations regarding the image of Mary in art. It is a must-have for every lover of sacred art and history.
