Madonna 1445

"Madonna" by Petrus Christus, painted in 1445, is a classic example of Northern Renaissance art. The painting showcases Mary holding the Christ child, who is depicted as a mature figure with a thoughtful expression. The meticulous detail of the figures, the rich colors, and the realistic depiction of the landscape all contribute to the painting's sense of grandeur and reverence. The inclusion of a patterned tile floor and the architectural framing of the scene further emphasize the artist's skill in representing realistic space and detail.
