1510
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Virgin and Child is a 1510 by Lorenzo di Credi, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman holding a small child. Her face is soft but drawn in quick, rough lines. The background is faint, with just a hint of shapes and light behind them. The woman’s robe folds are simple, almost like a sketch for a bigger painting. The child looks calm, resting against her. Check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create depth in drawings like this.
Lorenzo di Credi (1456/59 – January 12, 1537) was an Italian Renaissance painter and sculptor best known for his paintings of religious subjects, and portraits.
