Madonna and Child 

This painting by Defendente Ferrari, a prominent Italian Renaissance artist, depicts the Madonna and Child in a traditional composition. The Virgin Mary, draped in a red robe and a blue mantle, cradles the infant Jesus, who reaches out towards the viewer. Both figures are adorned with halos, emphasizing their divine status. The artist's attention to detail in rendering the drapery and the figures' delicate features showcases the technical mastery of the High Renaissance period. This artwork is an example of the popular devotional art genre and would have been intended for private worship.
