Madonna and Child c. 1450 - 1470

This small woodcut print, "Madonna and Child," dating back to c. 1450-1470, features the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus. Created by an anonymous artist, the image is characterized by its simple, yet expressive style typical of the Northern Renaissance. The composition is dominated by the central figures, set against a background of radiating lines that suggest a divine aura. The use of vibrant colors, particularly red and green, adds depth and vibrancy to the artwork, emphasizing the sacred nature of the subject matter. This print is an excellent example of the devotional art prevalent in the 15th century, reflecting the deep religious sentiment of the era.
