Adorazione del bambino 1480

"Adorazione del bambino" (Adoration of the Child), painted in 1480 by Florentine artist Francesco Botticini, depicts the traditional Christian scene of the adoration of the newborn Christ child. The painting showcases Botticini's mastery of detail and subtle color, characteristic of the Early Renaissance, and uses soft light and a harmonious composition to draw the viewer's attention to the central figures of Mary and the Christ child. The scene, framed by a landscape and angels above, is a timeless representation of the adoration of the Christ child by Mary, a shepherd, and an angel.
