Madonna and Child enthroned with donor 1470

This painting by Carlo Crivelli, created around 1470, depicts the Madonna and Child enthroned with a donor. The scene features a realistic portrayal of the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child, with a detailed rendering of their garments and features. Crivelli's signature meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate ornamentation of the throne, the realistic depiction of fruit, and the overall sense of depth and perspective in the composition. The donor, perhaps a patron of the artist, is not visible in this detail but would typically appear in these paintings. Crivelli's work embodies the style of the Early Renaissance in Italy, with a focus on realism, precise detail, and a return to classical artistic principles.
