Alex,
You linked to: “[...] ...artists later depicted the nursing Mary fully clothed because the Protestant reformers were generally critical of “the carnality and unbecoming nature of many sacred images”.”
Once again, we see Protestants ruined something - this time it was beautiful art. Ralph Adams Cram, a Protestant, noted that fact, more than half a century ago.
