Madonna with Saints 1537 - 1551

"Madonna with Saints" is an etching by Italian Renaissance artist Andrea Schiavone, also known as Andrea Meldola. Created between 1537 and 1551, this work depicts the Virgin Mary seated with the Christ child, surrounded by saints and other figures. The etching style, characterized by fine lines and subtle shading, showcases Schiavone’s mastery of this technique. This print, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is a testament to the artist's skill and his contribution to the art of printmaking in the 16th century.
