In the first Christian works of art, Mary is shown enthroned holding the child Jesus on her lap. However, there are a number of Marys representations in Christian art that associate her with evil and the devil. This work will discuss the development of Marys image as an armed Virgin from its origins in Italy -under the advocation of Out Lady of Help- until its diffusion in Spain. At the same time, it will point out the important role that this image played during the counterreformation period.
