Noordse madonna 1854 - 1914

"Noordse madonna," created between 1854 and 1914 by Dutch artist Albert Neuhuys (1844 - 1914), depicts a young woman holding a sleeping child. The soft, muted tones of the painting and the intimate scene evoke a sense of peace and tenderness. This artwork is a prime example of Neuhuys's focus on everyday life, especially the lives of ordinary people in the Netherlands. The painting is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, showcasing Neuhuys's contribution to Dutch realism.
