Madonna and Child 1450

Jacopo Bellini's "Madonna and Child," painted around 1450, is a poignant depiction of the Virgin Mary holding the Christ child. The work, now housed in the Uffizi Gallery, Florence, is a classic example of Early Renaissance art. The artist uses a soft palette, highlighting the delicate features of Mary's face and the child's innocent gaze. The careful attention to detail and the harmonious composition contribute to the work's devotional aura, making it a popular subject for study and contemplation.
