'Before attempting to trace in detail the history and occurrence of the goldfinch motif in the various schools, countries, and centuries of its usage, we may discuss its symbolic content, its allegorical significance, as this is, after all, the reason for its appearance in devotional art....The fact that the small bird was already a well established icon of suitable symbolic content was what made such an attempt permissable and successful.' --Introduction
