The Virgin and Child 

This Renaissance painting, “The Virgin and Child,” by Bernardino Luini, portrays the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child. The figures are depicted in a traditional, devotional style, with the Virgin Mary holding a book, symbolizing her wisdom and faith. The painting is notable for its delicate and graceful composition, with a soft light emanating from the figures. The subtle use of color and detail creates a sense of intimacy and piety, typical of Luini's artistic style, which was influenced by the works of Leonardo da Vinci. The painting is housed in the National Gallery in London.
