Raphael Sanzio’s The Alba Madonna was painted in 1511 and depicts an image of Mary, the baby Jesus and John the Baptist (as a child) sat in a countryside scene.

Illnesses therefore have no biological basis and are termed social constructs of diseases. In essence therefore, the way a particular illness is perceived varies from ...
