1460
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Madonna and Child is a 1460 ink by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a woman holding a baby. She is wearing a green dress with a red scarf around her neck. The baby is naked except for a red hat. The woman and the baby are surrounded by lines that look like rays of light. The woman's face is serious, and the baby looks calm. The woman's dress and the baby's hat are brightly colored, but the rest of the painting is more subdued. This painting is an example of Renaissance art, which often featured religious subjects like the Madonna and Child.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
