Madonna 1420

Gentile da Fabriano's "Madonna" (c. 1420) is a classic example of the International Gothic style, characterized by its elegant lines, rich colors, and decorative detail. The painting depicts the Virgin Mary seated with the Christ Child, both adorned in opulent clothing and jewelry. Mary's regal posture and the intricate patterns on her robe convey a sense of grandeur and divine authority, while the cherubic Christ Child's innocent gaze adds a sense of tenderness and devotion.
