Se trata de representaciones escultóricas o pictóricas de la Virgen María, de cronología mayoritariamente medieval (siglos XI-XIII), y caracterizadas por presentar tonalidades oscuras o totalmente negras de la piel. Se estudian su precedentes en la iconografía griega y romana, así como las referencias a estas vírgenes en los textos medievales.
