cchatoyant asked: I looked it up a bit, but I was wondering what the significance and history is of the black madonna? The reason that I decided made most sense was that it was more or less an accurate portrayal of her actual skin tone, even though I don't see artists from the middle ages having that type of knowledge! Thanks, love this blog by the way!
