The Virgin and Child with Saints and Angels
1350
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
This photo shows a woman in a blue robe holding a small child, both looking calm. Around them are other figures—some with halos, some in robes, some holding objects—all arranged in a triangle shape. The background is dark with gold edges, and the colors are flat with little shading. The woman and child are the focus, with smaller figures surrounding them like a group. The gold trim and halos suggest these are important religious figures. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro.
