Sažetak
The aim of this paper is to present the variations in the iconography of the Virgin of Mercy, which occurred due to the diverse patronage and the context of artworks representing this widespread theme. The differences are primarily evident in reduction of or addition to the scene (inclusion of God the Father, Jesus, saints, angels, etc.) while a deeper reading can also reveal sophisticated connotations of commissioner’s self–fashioning. The Virgin of Mercy, besides embodying the idea of a protectress of all believers, thus develops into the patroness and proponent of the newly established church orders, confraternities and some political subjects. Given the universal theological and humanly concept of the motherly protection of the iconography of Virgin of Mercy, the paper will move away from the traditional interpretations of the subject, by further exploring its transformability and versatility in the period from the 14th century until today.
