"The Virgin and Child seated on the clouds of blessing," is an etching by the famed Italian artist and architect Giovanni Battista Piranesi, also known as "Giovanni Battista Piranesi" or simply "Piranesi". Created sometime between 1720 and 1778, this print is a powerful example of Piranesi's mastery of line and detail. The composition depicts Mary and the Christ child seated on a cloud, with their faces turned toward the viewer, creating a sense of intimacy. This image highlights the theme of divine motherhood within the realm of Christian art.
