Mother With Child Under The Crucifix 

"Mother With Child Under The Crucifix" is an oil on canvas painting by Austrian artist Peter Fendi (1796-1842). The painting depicts a mother and child in prayer, with a crucifix visible in the background. The work is characterized by Fendi’s expressive use of light and shadow, and is a poignant example of the artist’s masterful depiction of human emotion. This intimate portrayal of religious devotion, now housed at the Belvedere Museum in Vienna, is a testament to Fendi's talent for capturing the nuances of everyday life.
