The Madonna and Child or The Virgin and Child is often the name of a work of art which shows the Virgin Mary and the Child Jesus. The word Madonna means "My Lady" in Italian. Artworks of the Christ Child and his mother Mary are part of the Roman Catholic tradition in many parts of the world including Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, South America and the Philippines. Paintings known as icons are also an important tradition of the Orthodox Church and often show the Mary and the Christ Child. They are found particularly in Eastern Europe, Russia, Egypt, the Middle East and India. More Madonna and Child

Nell (Becker) Dorr (August 27, 1893 – November 15, 1988) was an American photographer. Nell began mixing chemicals for her father, John Jacob Becker, at age 12. He was a portrait photographer in Cleveland, Ohio and the official photographer for the Baltimore and Ohio Railway. Nell Dorr moved to Florida in 1923 at which time her father completed her photography education. She opened her first portrait studio in Florida as both a means for her own enjoyment and a way to earn extra money for her family. She eventually moved her studio to New York where she became fully involved in the pictorial world of photography and befriended contemporaries such as Edward Steichen and Alfred Stieglitz. In 1934, she held her first exhibit at the Delphic Studios featuring portraits of thirty-six prestigious men. Among the men was the inventor John Van Nostrand Dorr who became her second husband. Nell Dorr passed away in 1988 at her home in Washington, Connecticut. She published four books of photography in which her art lives on. More on Nell Dorr
