Madonna met kind 1618 - 1655

"Madonna met kind" is an etching by Cornelis Schut, a prominent Flemish painter and printmaker who was active during the Baroque period. The artwork, created between 1618 and 1655, portrays the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus. The print, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Schut's mastery of linework and his ability to capture the tender bond between mother and son. The etching's intimate scale and detailed depiction of the figures' expressions create a sense of closeness and devotion, a theme central to Christian imagery of the Madonna and Child.
