Tronende Maria met kind 1861 - 1889

"Tronende Maria met kind" is an engraving by German artist William Unger, created between 1861 and 1889. The artwork depicts a traditional religious scene of the Virgin Mary seated on a throne, holding the baby Jesus. An angel kneels before her, while a figure in the background, possibly a saint or donor, looks on. This depiction of the Madonna and Child is a classic theme in art history, emphasizing the divine mother's role in Christianity. The engraving's detailed lines and intricate shading give a sense of depth and realism to the figures, while the architectural setting adds to the scene's solemn atmosphere. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Unger's mastery of the engraving technique and his ability to create a compelling and emotionally resonant image.
