This oil painting by Jan Mabuse, a prominent figure in Early Netherlandish art, depicts the Virgin Mary breastfeeding the infant Jesus. Known for his meticulous detail, Mabuse places the scene within a grand, architectural setting, emphasizing the religious significance of the subject. This work exemplifies Mabuse's mastery of naturalistic rendering, evident in the soft drapery of Mary's robe and the delicate features of the infant Christ. This painting, now located in the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon, Portugal, showcases the enduring power of the Madonna and Child theme in art.
