Madonna met kind 1618 - 1655

"Madonna met kind" is an etching by Flemish artist Cornelis Schut, created between 1618 and 1655. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a tender scene of the Virgin Mary cradling the Christ child. The composition is intimate, focusing on the close interaction between mother and son, and the use of light and shadow enhances the emotional depth of the scene. The etching is executed in a detailed, expressive style, characteristic of Schut's work, further emphasizing the religious devotion central to the piece.
