Madonna and Child with Saints 1442 - 1467

This altarpiece, "Madonna and Child with Saints," was created by the Italian artist Priamo della Quercia between 1442 and 1467. The painting is characterized by its intricate details and realistic portrayal of the Madonna and Child, seated together in a serene pose. The Virgin Mary is depicted wearing a flowing robe, her head covered with a veil. The composition is typical of the Early Renaissance style, with its focus on naturalism and the emphasis on the human form. The work is now part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
