               Edvard Much's "Madonna" (1894). Although it is a highly unusual representation, nevertheless, this painting is of Mary, the mother of Jesus. Ms. Rafter, an art historian at the Oslo National Gallery suggests that Munch intended to represent Mary in the life-making act of intercourse, with the sanctity and sensuality of the union captured by Munch.
