1630
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Madonna and Child is a 1630 by Bartolommeo Coriolano, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting depicts a serene scene of the Madonna and Child. The Madonna is shown with her head tilted, gazing downward at the child in her lap. The child is positioned with their head resting on the Madonna's chest, and their right hand is raised in a gentle gesture. The figures are set against a soft, muted background. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. The contrast between light and dark adds to the overall sense of calm and intimacy.
