Mother Mary with the Holy Child Jesus Christ (1913) is a painting by Adolf Hitler.
Not-so-innocent portrait of “Aryan” Virgin and Child from the would-be perpetrator of the “final solution” shows the growing influence of anti-Semitic stereotypes in the popular representations of Jesus at the beginning of the 20th century. The idea of an Aryan Jesus was manifestly well-established in Hitler's mind since a very early stage.
