Madonna 1890

This 1890 engraving by Timothy Cole, entitled "Madonna," depicts the Virgin Mary cradling the infant Jesus. The image is rendered in a realistic style, with fine detail in the figures' drapery and the surrounding landscape. Cole, a prominent American engraver, was known for his meticulous reproductions of famous paintings, like this one. The composition, featuring a serene Mary with a contemplative gaze, embodies the traditional religious themes of the Madonna and Child. This artwork, now at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, highlights Cole's mastery of the engraving process and the enduring appeal of the Madonna and Child motif in art.
