Madonna met sterrenkroon en rozenkrans op de maansikkel 1488 - 1492

This 15th-century engraving by the Master of the Amsterdam Cabinet depicts the Madonna and Child. The Virgin Mary is shown wearing a crown of stars and holding a rosary, while the Christ Child is seated on her lap. The composition is set within an oval frame and surrounded by a crescent moon and a radiating sun, symbolizing the celestial nature of the scene. This small-scale work, measuring only 89 mm high and 51 mm wide, is a beautiful example of the Master's meticulous detail and expressive linework. The artwork is commonly referred to as "Madonna met sterrenkroon en rozenkrans op de maansikkel," which translates to "Madonna with a crown of stars and a rosary on the crescent moon."
