"Madonna and Child with Angels" is a small oil painting by the Italian High Renaissance master Correggio, created in 1515. It depicts the Virgin Mary cradling the Christ child, surrounded by a celestial choir of angels, and is currently located in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. The painting is notable for its intimate depiction of the Madonna and child, and the way it uses light and color to create a sense of heavenly radiance. Correggio was famous for his innovative use of chiaroscuro (light and shadow) and foreshortening, techniques evident in this work.
