" Painted in Regusa on the Dalmatian

coast in Italy the model for the Virgin was a local village girl.

The costume is representative of a traditional Dalmatian costume from

the time... In the background Stokes surrounds the Holy mother and

child with thorny stems seeming to refer to the future crucifixion of

Christ. Stokes' interest in biblical themes is typical of the artists

of the Pre-Raphaelite movement... their aim was to return to the purer

styles of the early Renaissance artists like Fra Angelico and their

subject matter was often spiritual. "
