The Virgin and Child in a gothic interior 1460

Petrus Christus's "The Virgin and Child in a Gothic Interior" from 1460, showcases the artist's mastery of Northern Renaissance realism. The painting depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child in a meticulously rendered domestic interior. The scene is bathed in a warm, natural light that highlights the textures and details of the objects, creating a sense of depth and intimacy. Christus's attention to detail and meticulous rendering, coupled with the scene's intimate setting, demonstrate the emerging influence of the Northern Renaissance style in the 15th century.
