Anoniem. Madonna met kind
1924
From the collection of Catholic University of Leuven
The painting shows a woman holding a baby, likely a depiction of Mary and Jesus. It's a simple scene, with the two figures taking center stage. The artist who made this painting is unknown, but it's clear they were influenced by earlier styles. The painting has a quiet, intimate feel to it, which is interesting. The fact that it was photographed from a glass slide adds another layer to its history. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of sfumato.
