Madonna is a 1801 oil by Unknown, a Neoclassicism work, held at Groeningemuseum.
The painting depicts a woman and a child. The woman is dressed in a long robe with a patterned design, and she is holding a flower in her right hand. The child is also wearing a patterned robe and is standing next to the woman. The background of the painting is a warm, golden color, which complements the earthy tones of the woman's and child's clothing. The overall effect is one of serenity and tranquility. The painting is an example of the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of depth and volume.
