Sažetak
Starting from the viewpoint of the history of medicine, the authors analyze the themes of conception and pregnancy in examples from canonical and apocryphal iconography of the lives of Mary and Jesus. St. Anne’s and St. Joachim’s assignation and kiss at the Golden Portal is a symbolic moment of St. Mary’s conception. Jesus’ conception has been represented in the theme of the Annunciation. The physical perception of pregnancy is experienced by St. Mary in the Visitation to Elizabeth. Several paintings, wall paintings and mosaics created in the area of today’s Croatia in the period from the 6th to the 17th centuries were chosen for explicit illustration of the themes.
