MADONNA & CHILD PART #1 by Antonio #Diego Voci

#Internationally Collected Artist Antonio Diego Voci honored “Madonna” (The word is from Italian ma #donna, meaning “my lady“) all throughout his life as he created “My #Lady” in many of his works of art.

In the days of celebrating Christmas, we honor “Madonna and Child” as Diego honored Mother and Child in every day of his life, with his family, with every work of art he created his passion for life and joy, and giving to others with his gifts was what “Christmas is all about”

Diego Voci; “Maternita” #361-461, 60x80cm oil on canvas, Private Collection of John Broderick, purchased in 1976 Karlsruhe, Germany.

This is the first of 6 Diego’s as we count each day to #Christmas Day.

To view a selection of Diego’s Madonna and Childs, here is a board honoring those works:
