Madonna and Child is a 1310 tempera by Master of San Martino alla Palma, a Byzantine icon painting work, held at São Paulo Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a serene scene of the Madonna and Child. The Madonna, dressed in a black robe with gold accents, gently holds the child in her arms. The child, wearing a yellow robe, looks up at the Madonna with a curious expression. The background of the painting is a warm, golden color. The painting's use of tempera as a medium adds a sense of depth and texture to the scene. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate patterns on the Madonna's robe and the delicate features of the child's face.
