Enthroned Madonna with angels 1420

Gentile da Fabriano's "Enthroned Madonna with angels" (c. 1420) showcases the artist's mastery of the International Gothic style. This small panel painting depicts the Virgin Mary seated on a throne with the Christ Child in her lap. Surrounding them are four angels who gaze up at the central figures, creating a harmonious and devotional composition. Fabriano's use of vibrant colors, intricate detail, and gold leaf contribute to the artwork's opulent and celebratory feel, reflecting the wealth and patronage of the time. The painting is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and spiritual depth.
