"Madonna on the Crescent" (c. 1470) is an engraving by the German artist Martin Schongauer (1435-1491). The artwork depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, with two angels above them placing a crown on her head. The Virgin stands on a crescent moon, which symbolizes her role as the Queen of Heaven. This print exemplifies Schongauer's mastery of line and detail, and its popularity is evidenced by its numerous copies and imitations.
