BUS STOP MADONNA /ˈbʌs ˌstɒp məˈdɒnə/
An informal art-world term for a depiction of the Virgin Mary modelled on an ordinary, contemporary woman rather than an idealized religious type.

“Yet the face of Mary is very human, and she’s what I might call a ‘bus stop Madonna.’ You’d meet her at a bus stop; she’s a real person.”
