There are few mentions of the Virgin Mary in the New Testament, but she has been portrayed as much as any woman in history. Jane Seymour narrates this profoundly moving program that takes viewers on an artistic journey spanning almost 2,000 years and across four continents. Picturing Mary visits museums, chapels, and cathedrals in eight countries to view rare and sacred masterpieces by such artists as Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Caravaggio, and Duccio in their original locations. From tiny personal images to giant mosaics and frescoes, these treasured artworks that Mary inspired show how artists have expressed their personal devotion to the woman whose role was destined to exalt her above other women.
