Madonna and Child with donor is a 1864 by Mariannecci, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a 1864 print called *Madonna and Child with donor* by Mariannecci. It’s a chromolithograph, a color print made by drawing on a stone with greasy chalk. Then the stone gets wet, ink rolls over it, and the greasy parts hold the color while the wet parts stay clean. The Arundel Society ordered prints like this to sell to subscribers. Mariannecci’s image was one of many copies meant to share artworks widely. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
The work is a chromolithograph from 1864 titled *Madonna and Child with donor* by Mariannecci, produced for the Arundel Society. Created using multiple stones—one per color—this reproductive print reproduces an Italian fresco cycle through a process where greasy ink adheres to drawn areas while water repels it from moistened surfaces. Distributed to subscribers across varied backgrounds, over 200,000 copies were circulated by the Society before its closure in 1897, often appearing in public spaces such as schools and churches.
