Madonna and Child
Description
Images of the Madonna and Child—a title that typically denotes a visual representation of Mother Mary and her son, infant Jesus—are among the painting's most praised motifs. Originally an ancient devotional practice stemming from biblical beliefs, artistically representing these figures has become a central theme in the canon of art history.
This painting is painted on a wooden panel. Panel painting was in vogue until canvas became the more popular support medium in the 16th century CE.
