106). Caravaggio’s dead Virgin offended its viewers. She appeared very dead‚ bloated in fact‚ with so hint of miraculousness about her. She has no energy whatsoever to raise a hand in gesture. Her bare feet and ankles are uncovered. She is in a very poor setting. Helen Langdon argues that this emphasis on naturalism and poverty was Caravaggio’s way of refuting the Protestant attacks on the cult of the Virgin. He shows a very human Mary‚ the poor mother of Christ. Langdon even suggests the Virgin’s
