Madonna and Child with Angels 

The “Madonna and Child with Angels” by Italian painter Il Sassetta, also known as Stefano di Giovanni, is an exquisite depiction of the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child. The central figures are framed by two angels offering a crown to the Madonna, signifying her royal status and divine role. The work's golden tones and detailed rendering, characteristic of the Sienese school of painting, give the artwork a sense of grandeur and reverence. The painting is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, a testament to the artist's lasting influence.
