Religious art is often accused as objectifying women as virgins, mothers or prostitutes.
I'd suggest that one of the ways in which our society objectifys women is as high street shoppers, and walking shop maniquins. What does Jesus passing by, being led out to die, say to such women (perhaps bored, certainly innoculated against images of human suffering)?
