CRUZ MEDINA, Juan Pablo. From queen to mother: Motherhood as discursive construction in the seventeenth century neogranadine painting. Hist. Soc. [online]. 2015, n.28, pp.111-142. ISSN 0121-8417.  https://doi.org/10.15446/hys.n28.48013.

This article examines motherhood as a discursive construction, linking this construction with the neogranadine visual discourse of the seventeenth century. The image of ''The Virgin with the Child'', within the post Tridentine context, stood as a place of origin of a discourse modeling the women behavior, giving specific roles in relation with their children. The tender, loving and protective mother with their children emerges in the visual discourse as a narrative truth that should be adopted by subjects in everyday behavior.
