Heinrich Aldegrever's "Madonna met kind zittend in een landschap" is a delicate engraving from 1527 depicting the Virgin Mary cradling the Christ child. The piece is notable for its meticulous detail, evident in the intricate drapery folds and the subtle shading of the figures, a hallmark of Aldegrever's style. The background, while simple, provides a sense of depth and scale, grounding the Madonna and child in a serene landscape. This intimate and devotional image offers a powerful representation of the Madonna and Child theme, popular in Renaissance art. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
