Virgin and Child with Saint Ciborius and Carlo Borromeo 1693 - 1695

"Virgin and Child with Saint Ciborius and Carlo Borromeo" is an etching by Sir Nicolas Dorigny from 1693-1695. The artwork, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, depicts a serene scene with the Virgin Mary and Child, St. Ciborius, and Carlo Borromeo. The composition, with figures arranged in a balanced manner, is a characteristic of Baroque art. Dorigny's use of detailed hatching creates a sense of depth and volume in the figures, enhancing their realism. The artwork was likely commissioned for a private patron or for religious use, as it depicts important figures in Catholic faith.
