Madonna and child

myminifactory

The Madonna and Child theme dominates Christian art, but a notable shift occurs in the 13-14th century when representations display more tender moments between mother and child. A refined relief from the late 15th century showcases the sculptor's mastery of technique and proportion, making it possible to see the deep connection between Virgin and her infant. The baby's hand on his mother's chest, her closed eyes, and the gentle way she cradles him are universal gestures that all mothers share with their children.
