Abstract	The session stresses the iconographic ambiguity between the Virgin Mary and Saint Anne as reflected in various visual and textual materials. It deals with the presentation of theological concepts and debates on the Immaculate Conception in relation to its intericonic imagery (Pordenone's altarpiece), to miniatures (the faetus Annunciation type), and with textual representation (in Dante's Purgatorio).
