Madonna Adoring The Child is a 1500 oil by Jacopo da Sellaio, a Italian Renaissance work, held at Walters Art Museum.
The painting depicts a serene scene of the Madonna adoring the child. The Madonna, dressed in a dark robe with a white undergarment, stands in the center, her hands clasped together in prayer. She gazes down at the child, who lies on a cushion, his arms outstretched. The background features a stone wall and a distant landscape with trees and figures. A quiet detail is the delicate folds of the Madonna's robes, which add a sense of texture and depth to the painting. The use of oil paint creates a rich, vibrant color palette that brings the scene to life. For more information on the artist behind this work, look up Jacopo da Sellaio.
Jacopo del Sellaio (1441/42–1493) was an Italian painter of the early Renaissance, active in his native Florence.
