Madonna and Child 

Antoniazzo Romano's "Madonna and Child" is a depiction of the Virgin Mary and the Christ child. The painting exemplifies the artist's characteristic style, blending elements of Early Renaissance with a strong, individualized touch. The figures are depicted in a tender embrace, Mary's gaze focused intently on Jesus, while the Christ child turns slightly, with a subtle smile, towards the viewer. This intimate portrayal of the Madonna and Child, with its refined features and delicate brushwork, captures the essence of maternal devotion and the divine presence of the infant Jesus. The painting reflects the religious fervor prevalent in the early 16th century, and the artist's own deeply personal expression of faith.
