Gentile da Fabriano's "Madonna" (1416) is a small-scale painting that depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ child. This work exemplifies the International Gothic style, notable for its vibrant colors, intricate details, and emphasis on elegance. The gold leaf accents and the ornate patterned background create a luxurious atmosphere, while the gentle expression of the Madonna and the child's innocent gaze evoke a sense of reverence and devotion. The painting is currently housed in the National Museum of San Matteo in Pisa, Italy.
