Piero della Francesca's "Virgin and Child" is a Renaissance painting showcasing the artist's signature geometric precision and serene clarity. The Virgin Mary, draped in a blue robe and a golden-brown cloak, holds the Christ child with her left hand, while her right rests calmly on her lap. The child, depicted with a halo, is nude and stands with his weight shifted to his right foot, creating a sense of balance. The artist's masterful use of light and shadow further enhances the figures' three-dimensionality, adding depth and realism to the composition. This painting, now housed in the Vittorio Cini Collection in Venice, is a testament to Piero della Francesca's artistic genius and his ability to capture the spiritual essence of his subjects.
