Virgin with the Violet 

"Virgin with the Violet" is a painting by the German artist Stefan Lochner, created sometime between 1410 and 1451. The painting depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child in her arms, with a violet placed on the child's chest. This detail refers to the belief that Mary's womb remained pure, without sin. The painting is characterized by the soft and delicate features of the figures, a hallmark of Lochner's style, which is often referred to as "soft style". The bright colors and detailed backgrounds contribute to the artwork's overall sense of beauty and serenity.
