Madonna and Child with Angels 1408 - 1427

This tempera and gold on wood painting, "Madonna and Child with Angels" by Gentile da Fabriano, is a classic example of the International Gothic style, a late medieval artistic movement known for its elegance and intricate details. Created between 1408 and 1427, this work showcases the artist's mastery in portraying the Madonna and Child in a tender and devotional manner, surrounded by angels singing hymns from scrolls. The vibrant colors, rich textures, and lavish gold leaf create a sense of grandeur and spirituality, reflecting the devotional fervor of the time. Now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this masterpiece offers a glimpse into the artistic brilliance of the early 15th century in Italy.
