The Madonna of the Word shows Mary receiving the Word of God both as scripture and as her son. Her response to the white scroll is a tender embrace for her child, an embrace that accepts Him and His Word. In return, however, her child looks at her with sorrow for He knows that this acceptance will bring her suffering. The red of the Madonna's garment hints that she will indeed suffer greatly. ____________________________ |
