Timothy Cole's "Madonna and Child in Glory" (1892) is a black and white engraving showcasing a traditional Renaissance composition. The Virgin Mary, seated on a cloud, holds the Christ child, flanked by two angels. Surrounding them are cherub faces, adding to the celestial setting. Cole's meticulous technique, reminiscent of the Old Masters, makes the engraving appear like a drawing, capturing the delicate details of the original artwork. This piece demonstrates Cole's skill in translating religious imagery into fine art prints, making it accessible to a wider audience.
