I have since done a little research (not a lot!) and hope to amplify on Michelangelo's inclusion of the oxalis plant shown close to the Madonna's feet - your suggestions very helpful in pointing out that the plant is trefoil, representing the holy trinity.Margaret Gosdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12588297074835472141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6989319393227162085.post-50932320061194780872009-06-21T19:11:21.424-07:002009-06-21T19:11:21.424-07:00It's wonderful how the translation from green ...It's wonderful how the translation from green to black, because of the shadow, adds a dramatic touch.Rinkly Rimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07890344869337115307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6989319393227162085.post-77376146591085080342009-06-21T13:46:28.897-07:002009-06-21T13:46:28.897-07:00Wonderful shadow shot..

It is amazing how much symbology was painted into the renaissance artwork. For a mostly pre-literate society, it was the way to communicate the truths of the day! So much has been lost over time too. I also mourn the loss of your view. Nice photo, thanks for sharing.SouthLakesMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822510653198676631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6989319393227162085.post-68983121301444808132009-06-20T20:22:14.944-07:002009-06-20T20:22:14.944-07:00I like that Oxalis plant.
